SB 214 Oklahoma Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Initiative and referendum; specifying time period for certain elections. Emergency.

SB 214 amends Oklahoma election law to standardize timeframes for special elections on initiative and referendum measures. It requires statewide special elections to occur between 70 and 250 days after being called, while county, municipal, and school district special elections must be held at least 60 days after the call (with a 45-day exception for school runoff elections). The bill also specifies that the Governor must set election dates within the 70-250 day window after the Secretary of State notifies them. This procedural bill affects state and local governments scheduling special elections on voter-approved measures.
