Ballot title
The ballot title for State Question 21 was as follows:
| “ | A law prescribing the time and manner of conducting general elections, creates a State Election Board, appointed by the Governor, not more than two of the same political party; Chairman of the managing committee of each of the two political parties having cast the largest number of votes in the last preceding general election may at any time submit to the Governor the names of not less that five members of their respective political parties. In making said appointments preference shall be given to the names so submitted. | ” |
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.
