During this one-hour town hall, you’ll:

  • Learn what State Questions 845 and 847 would change
  • Hear straightforward, fact-based explanations.
  • Ask questions in an open, respectful setting.
  • Leave feeling more confident before you vote.

Every registered Oklahoma voter — regardless of political party — can participate in the Nov. 3 general election.

What’s on the ballot?

  • State Question 845 would change the rules for who can serve on Oklahoma’s Judicial Nominating Commission and how its members are selected.
  • State Question 847 would lower Oklahoma’s assessment caps for property taxes beginning in 2027.

Visit OK Policy’s overview of the Nov. 3 general election for additional information and fact sheets on the state questions. You can also find links to sample ballots and key dates for absentee and early voting.  

Why attend our town hall?

State questions can shape Oklahoma’s future for years to come, but many voters head to the polls without fully understanding what they’ll decide. Take one hour to learn the facts, ask your questions, and be ready to vote with confidence.

Casting an informed ballot is one of the most important ways to participate in our democracy. Understanding what’s on your ballot helps ensure your vote reflects your values and priorities.

Bring your questions, invite a neighbor, and join us for an informative conversation about the issues on your ballot.
