Oklahoma State Senator Will Re-Introduce Proposal to Require Initiatives to Pass in Two-Thirds of Counties

Oklahoma State Senator Warren Hamilton (R-McCurtain) introduced SJR30 this year, but it didn’t pass. It would have changed the state Constitution to provide that initiatives can’t pass unless they receive a majority in at least two-thirds of the counties. It said that if it got a majority of the statewide vote but did not pass in at least two-thirds of the counties, it would only go into effect in the counties in which it had passed.

Senator Hamilton says in a November 4 press release that he will try again this in 2023. Thanks to Fairvote for this news.
