On June 14, a new lawsuit was filed in federal court to strike down Oklahoma’s apparent ban on out-of-state petition circulators. It is Term Limits Group, et al v Savage, no. 5:07-cv-680.

The plaintiff wants to circulate an initiative petition expanding term limits to cover the state offices that are not already covered by Oklahoma’s term limits law. Although Governor and state legislators are already subject to term limits, there are no term limits on the other elected statewide executive posts, such as Lieutenant Governor, Attorney General, etc.
