On May 26, the Oklahoma legislature adjourned. It did not pass any significant election law bills.
Bills that failed to pass were: (1) SB 518, which would have specified that initiative and referendum petitions must be signed by voters who use their “legal” name and which would have charged a filing fee of up to $750 before an initiative could start to circulateo; (2) SB 568, which would have repealed the straight-ticket device; (3) SB 288, which would have reduced the number of signatures needed on petitions in lieu of the filing fee.
How well did SB 568 fair?
@Zooey,
It didn’t even get a committee hearing.
