SB 214 Oklahoma Senate · 2026 Regular Session

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

SB 214 sets specific timeframes for special elections on initiative and referendum measures in Oklahoma. It requires statewide special elections to occur between 70 and 250 days after being called, while local elections (including school districts) must be held at least 60 days later (45 days for school runoff elections). The bill also clarifies that the Governor must set election dates within 70-250 days after the Secretary of State notifies them, aligning with existing rules. These changes directly affect citizens filing petitions, local governments scheduling votes, and the Governor's process for setting election dates.
