Oklahoma Ratification is the process in which a proposed amendment to the Oklahoma Constitution is approved by both the Oklahoma House of Representatives and the Oklahoma Senate. This process occurs after the amendment is proposed by a joint resolution of the two branches of the Oklahoma Legislature. Once the amendment has been approved by a majority of each chamber, it is then presented to the Governor for signature. If the Governor signs the amendment, it is then sent to the Secretary of State to be placed on the ballot for a vote by the people of Oklahoma. There are two types of Oklahoma Ratification: Popular Ratification and Legislative Ratification. Popular Ratification occurs when the proposed amendment is voted on directly by the people of Oklahoma. Legislative Ratification occurs when the proposed amendment is approved by both houses of the Oklahoma legislature and signed by the Governor. In either case, if the majority of the people of Oklahoma vote in favor of the amendment, it will become part of the Oklahoma Constitution.
