Text of measure
Ballot title
The ballot title for State Question 146 was as follows:
| “ | "An Act calling a Constitutional Convention on the first Tuesday in November, 1927, for the purpose of altering, revising or amending the present Constitution or to propose a new Constitution for the State of Oklahoma; fixing the time and place thereof; defining the number of delegates and providing the manner of their election and the amount of their compensation, and providing for the submission of the proposed Constitution, alterations, revisions or amendments to the people for their approval." | ” |
Path to the ballot
A simple majority vote is required during one legislative session for the Oklahoma State Legislature to place a state statute on the ballot. That amounts to a minimum of 51 votes in the Oklahoma House of Representatives and 24 votes in the Oklahoma State Senate, assuming no vacancies. Statutes require the governor's signature to be referred to the ballot. Bills that raise revenue must pass in both the House and Senate with at least a three-fourths supermajority to be enacted without voter approval; if a revenue-increasing bill passes by more a simple majority but less than a three-fourths supermajority, they must be referred to the ballot.
