Initiative and referendum; form for initiative petition; data points; effective date.

HB 1844 modifies Oklahoma's initiative petition form requirements. It mandates that all initiative petitions must include five specific voter data points: legal first name, last name matching precinct records, zip code, house number, and birth month/day. For signatures to be valid, four of these five data points must match the voter's registration file. This procedural change directly affects citizens and organizations seeking to place initiatives on ballots by altering signature verification standards. The bill takes effect November 1, 2025.
