Oklahoma State Question 62 was on the
August 4, 1914 statewide ballot in
Oklahoma as a
veto referendum, where it was
defeated.
State Question 62 was an attempt to use Oklahoma's veto referendum process to overturn Oklahoma House Bill 51 (Chapter 128, Session Laws of Oklahoma, 1913). This was an act of the Oklahoma State Legislature that said:
- "AN ACT to amend Sections 2519, 2520, and 2528 of the General Statutes of 1893, of the State of Oklahoma, relating to gambling; and providing penalties for running slot machines; and providing for civil penalty against owners of premises permitting same to be used in violation of section one of this act."
A "yes" vote on State Question 62 was a vote to repeal the legislative act. A "no" vote was a vote to uphold the legislative act.
