Path to the ballot
In Oklahoma, the number of signatures required for a veto referendum was equal to 5% of the votes cast in the last general election. In 2010, voters approved State Question 750, which changed the signature requirement to be based on the preceding gubernatorial election. A simple majority vote is required for voter approval.
