Ballot title
The ballot title for State Question 22 was as follows:
| “ | To amend Section 7, Article 1 of the Constitution and to provide for the licensed sale of intoxicating liquors in incorporated cities, towns and villages after an election to determine whether said municipality shall license the sale of liquors to be consumed on the premises at a cost of two thousand dollars per year, and the sale in original packages not to be there consumed at a cost of five hundred dollars per year for each license, with restrictions, as to Sunday and midnight closing, prohibiting treating and other restrictions. | ” |
Path to the ballot
In Oklahoma, the number of signatures required for an initiated constitutional amendment was equal to 15% 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.
