For the full list of referendums we’re tracking, see our home page.
We currently have no referendums we’re tracking for Oklahoma. See our 2020 results for past referendums.
Previously tracked and never made the ballot, but left here for the sake of commentary:
State Question 824
Abolish Death Penalty Initiative
We regard a “yes” vote as helpful to the goal of ending violence.
Current status: Petition drive was dropped.
State Question 825
Reproductive Rights Initiative
We regard a “no” vote as helpful to the goal of ending violence.
Current status: Petition drive was dropped.
================================
We believe the individual who filed these for consideration on the same day has it backwards: opposition to death penalty and opposition to abortion should go together; they both involve killing human beings. Here are some blog posts discussing connections from the Consistent Life Network:
