Oklahoma voters weigh eight amendments in light turnout
Oklahoma officials project a very light turnout for the eight proposed constitutional amendments. Gov. Boren predicts only 150,000 to 200,000 voters will cast ballots as polls open 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. statewide. Experts disagree, with Rep. Monks forecasting about 400,000 voters and the State Election Board secretary estimating 250,000 to 300,000 ballots. The measures span abolishing charities and corrections, merging auditor and examiner roles, and adjusting elective offices to appointive ones, with implementation set for January 8, 1979.
