Constitutional amendment; removing requirement of political party affiliation for certain membership of the Judicial Nominating Commission.
SJR 13 is a proposed constitutional amendment that would remove political party affiliation requirements for certain members of Oklahoma's Judicial Nominating Commission. Specifically, it eliminates restrictions limiting the number of Commission members appointed by the Governor (max three per party) and the "at large" members (max two per party) based on political party. This change would directly affect how the Commission is composed, allowing appointments without party affiliation constraints. The amendment would be submitted to voters for approval via ballot measure, as required by Oklahoma law for constitutional changes.
