Joint resolution; Oklahoma Constitution; Article VI; State Treasurer; Labor Commissioner; State Superintendent of Public Instruction; Insurance Commissioner; non-partisan officers; ballot title; filing.
HJR 1059 proposes a constitutional amendment to make four Oklahoma state offices non-partisan: State Treasurer, Superintendent of Public Instruction, Commissioner of Labor, and Commissioner of Insurance. If approved by voters, these positions would be elected through non-partisan elections rather than partisan contests. The amendment would change Article VI of the Oklahoma Constitution to reflect this election structure, requiring future candidates for these roles to run without party affiliation. The measure must be approved by Oklahoma voters in a referendum to take effect.
