Oklahoma Voters Face State Question 477 On Reapportionment
Oklahoma voters must decide State Question 477 alongside major races on August 25. The measure would abolish the three member reapportionment commission and hand the task to the legislature, extending the deadline while aligning districts after the 1970 census. Senator Bryce Baggett argues 60 days is inadequate and notes federal court oversight could extend beyond the 1970 census. The bid has bipartisan support as both parties prefer legislative control over district maps.
