Oklahoma Constitution Convention Vote | Oklahoma City News

Governor Kevin Stitt is pushing for a constitutional convention vote, arguing Oklahomans deserve a chance to update their founding document — a move last attempted 56 years ago. Though the legislature previously blocked the effort, Stitt now plans to put it on the ballot in April 2027, despite legal uncertainty over whether he has the authority to call it. Law professor Carla Pratt says while updating the constitution can strengthen democracy, voters must understand the risks — including potential erosion of rights. The vote’s timing is also ironic: Stitt won’t be governor by then, as his term ends in January, and his announcement came right after Republicans picked their next gubernatorial nominee.
