Open primary supporters deliver signatures to Oklahoma Secretary of State
OKLAHOMA CITY – Open primary supporters on Monday said they turned in more than the number of needed signatures to get the issue on the ballot.
Proponents of State Question 836 said they submitted over 200,000 signatures to the Oklahoma Secretary of State for verification. The proposed constitutional amendment required 172,993 signatures.
“We are able to turn in these signatures today because hundreds of hardworking volunteers from every corner of the state stood in the wind, bitter cold, and the snow – even through the holidays – to get this on the ballot,” said Ken Setter, a supporter. “They did that because they understand that we can’t fix what’s broken in our state until we fix how we choose our leaders.”
If approved by voters, State Question 836 would require candidates for most elected offices to appear on a single primary ballot. Party affiliation would be listed.
