Statewide ballot measures: what your vote means
For each measure: the official ballot title, what a YES vote and a NO vote would do, and what would change, in plain language from official sources. SaveYourState does not take positions on ballot measures.
2 statewide measures are on the ballot. 2 have a “Heads up” note because a YES vote repeals, undoes, or removes something. Official sources checked October 21, 2026.
State Question 845 (Legislative Referendum 379) · Legislatively referred constitutional amendment
Judicial Nominating Commission
Heads up: voting YES on this measure removes current limits on commissioners being licensed attorneys and on political party membership for some commissioners.
A YES vote means:
The Judicial Nominating Commission would be restructured so the Governor and the Oklahoma Bar Association each appoint six members and the Commission selects three at-large members, with limits on attorney membership and party membership removed.
A NO vote means:
The Commission stays as it is, with appointments based on congressional districts as constituted in 1967 and the current limits on attorneys and party membership.
State Question 847 (Legislative Referendum 381) · Legislatively referred constitutional amendment
Property value increase limits and the senior homestead freeze
Heads up: voting YES on this measure removes the current ban on any increase in homestead value for qualifying seniors and replaces it with annual limits of 0% to 1.75% based on household income.
A YES vote means:
Starting in tax year 2027, annual growth in taxable property value would be capped at 4% for most property and 1.75% for homesteads and farmland, and the senior freeze would become income-based limits from 0% to 1.75% with no income cap to qualify.
A NO vote means:
Current caps stay at 5% for most property and 3% for homesteads and farmland, and qualifying seniors under the income limit keep a full freeze on their homestead value.
Two state questions. Oklahoma does not publish separate yes/no explanations; explanations are drawn from the Attorney General’s final ballot titles.
