Oklahomaon |
The state operates on an annual budget cycle. The sequence of key events in the budget process is as follows:[16]
- Budget instructions are sent to state agencies inAugust.
- State agencies submit their budget requests to thegovernor byOctober 1.
- Agency hearings are held fromNovember through January.
- The governor submits his or her proposed budget to thestate legislature inFebruary.
- The legislature typically adopts a budget inMay. A simple majority is required to pass a budget. The new fiscal year beginsJuly 1.
Oklahoma is one of 44 states in which the governor hasline item veto authority.[16][17]
The governor is constitutionally required to submit a balanced budget proposal. Likewise, the legislature is required to pass a balanced budget.[16]
Redistricting
- See also:Redistricting in Oklahoma
In Oklahoma, both congressional and state legislative district boundaries are drawn by theOklahoma State Legislature. These lines may be vetoed by thegovernor.[18]
If the legislature is unable to approve a state legislative redistricting plan, a backup commission must draw the lines. The commission comprises the following seven members:[18]
- Thegovernor appoints one Republican and one Democrat.
- The majority leader of theOklahoma State Senate appoints one Republican and one Democrat.
- The majority leader of theOklahoma House of Representatives appoints one Republican and one Democrat.
- Thelieutenant governor serves as the non-voting chair of the commission.
TheOklahoma Constitution requires that state Senate district boundaries take into account "population, compactness, area, political units, historical precedents, economic and political interests, contiguous territory, and other major factors."[18]
The redistricting committee of the state House adopted redistricting guidelines similar to the senatorial district requirements described above. These guidelines apply to state House and congressional districts, as well. These guidelines may be amended by the state legislature at its discretion.[18]
2020
Gov.Kevin Stitt (R) signed new legislative maps into law on November 22, 2021.[19] The Senate approved the Senate map in a 46-1 vote on November 17, 2021, and the House approved the Senate map 95-1 on November 19, 2021.[20] The House approved the House map 88-3 on November 17, 2021, and the Senate approved the House map 44-2 on November 19, 2021.[21]These maps took effect for Oklahoma's 2022 legislative elections.
2010
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Oklahoma's population increased from 3.45 million to 3.75 million between 2000 and 2010.[22] The population was densest around Oklahoma City and Tulsa. Growth rates were highest in the suburban and exurban areas surrounding these cities, while rural Oklahoma counties grew at a lower rate or lost population. Of Oklahoma's 77 counties, 23 saw a drop in population between 2000 and 2010.[23] The state's overall growth rate was 8.7 percent, which was below the national average of 9.7 percent, but not low enough to cost the state a Congressional seat.[24]
Oklahoma officials received detailed Oklahoma results from the Census in February 2011. The legislature formedsteering committees in each chamber to draft the maps before the May 27, 2011 deadline. TheHouse of Representatives completed its work relatively quickly, producing a map that avoided putting any incumbents in a district together by early May.[25] The Senate did not produce a map until mid-May.[26][27][28] The House map was passed in its initial vote, while the Senate encountered minority opposition. However, opposition eased on the second round of votes, and theGov.Mary Fallin (R) signed the bills into law seven days before the deadline.[29][30]

The rules for legislative overrides of gubernatorial vetoes in Oklahoma are listed below.
How many legislators are required to vote for an override? Two-thirds of members in both chambers.
| Two-thirds of members in both chambers must vote to override a veto, which is 68 of the 101 members in theOklahoma House of Representatives and 32 of the 48 members in theOklahoma State Senate. Oklahoma is one of 36 states that requires a two-thirds vote from both of its legislative chambers to override a veto. |
Are there other special rules?
| If the governor vetoes an emergency measure, three-fourths of the members in both chambers are required to override the veto, which is 76 of the 101 state representatives and 36 of the 48 state senators.[34] |
Authority:Article VI, Section 11 of theOklahoma Constitution.
| "Every bill which shall have passed the Senate and House of Representatives, and every resolution requiring the assent of both branches of the Legislature, shall, before it becomes a law, be presented to the Governor; if he approve, he shall sign it; if not, he shall return it with his objections to the house in which it shall have originated, who shall enter the objections at large in the Journal and proceed to reconsider it. If, after such reconsideration, two-thirds of the members elected to that house shall agree to pass the bill or joint resolution, it shall be sent, together with the objections, to the other house, by which it shall likewise be reconsidered; and, if approved by two-thirds of the members elected to that house, it shall become a law, notwithstanding the objections of the Governor." |
History
Partisan balance 1992-2013
Oklahoma State Senate:From 1992-2013, the Democratic Party was the majority in the Oklahoma State Senate for the first 15 years while the Republicans were the majority for the last five years. The final three years of the study depicted a shift in the Oklahoma senate with all three years being Republicantrifectas.
Across the country, there were 541 Democratic and 517 Republican state senates from 1992 to 2013.
Oklahoma State House of Representatives:From 1992-2013, the Democratic Party was the majority in the Oklahoma State House of Representatives for the first 13 years while the Republicans were the majority for the last nine years. Oklahoma was under Republicantrifectas for the final three years of the study.
Across the country, there were 577 Democratic and 483 Republican State Houses of Representatives from 1992 to 2013.
Over the course of the 22-year study, state governments became increasingly more partisan. At the outset of the study period (1992), 18 of the 49 states with partisan legislatures had single-party trifectas and 31 states had divided governments. In 2013, only 13 states had divided governments, while single-party trifectas held sway in 36 states, the most in the 22 years studied.

Constitutional amendments
In every state but Delaware, voter approval is required to enact a constitutional amendment. In each state, the legislature has a process forreferring constitutional amendments before voters. In 18 states,initiated constitutional amendments can be put on the ballot through a signature petition drive. There are alsomany other types of statewide measures.
The methods in which the Oklahoma Constitution can be amended:
- See also:Section 1, Article V, andArticle XXIV of theOklahoma Constitution andLaws governing ballot measures in Oklahoma
TheOklahoma Constitution provides three mechanisms for amending the state's constitution—a citizen-initiated process, a legislative process, and a state constitutional convention. Oklahoma requires a simple majority vote (50% plus 1) for voters to approve constitutional amendments.
Initiative
- See also:Initiated constitutional amendment
Aninitiated constitutional amendment is acitizen-initiated ballot measure that amends astate's constitution. Eighteen (18) states allow citizens to initiate constitutional amendments.
In Oklahoma, thenumber of signatures required for an initiated constitutional amendment is equal to 15% of the votes cast in the last gubernatorial election. A simple majority vote is required for voter approval.
Legislature
A simple majority vote is required during one legislative session for theOklahoma State Legislature to place a constitutional amendment on the ballot. That amounts to a minimum of 51 votes in theOklahoma House of Representatives and 24 votes in theOklahoma State Senate, assuming no vacancies. Amendments do not require the governor's signature to be referred to the ballot.
Convention
According toSection 2 of Article XXIV of theOklahoma Constitution, a question about whether to hold a state constitutional convention is toautomatically appear on the state's ballot every 20 years. Oklahoma is one of 14 states that provides for an automatic constitutional convention question. However, the last time Oklahomans voted on such a question was in1970.[35] According to the State Constitutional Convention Clearinghouse, "Since 1970, Oklahoma’s legislature has refused to follow its Constitution with regard to this provision. In 1994, it placed a referendum on the ballot to eliminate this requirement, but the people of Oklahoma defeated it. Since 1990, many bills have been introduced to implement this part of the Constitution but none has passed."[36]
