We turned in all the petitions on August 8, 2018 to the Oklahoma Secretary of State for the official count for both SQ 796 and SQ 797. The OK Secretary of State will count the signatures for SQ796 first then they will count SQ797. We tried to get them to count SQ797 first but they only count in order of petition number which means they count SQ796 first. We will be there until the counting is completed.

OKLAHOMA CITY - Oklahoma Secretary of State James Williamson today announced his office has completed the counting of signatures for a state question that would ask voters to incorporate the right to recreational marijuana in the Oklahoma Constitution.

The secretary of state’s office counted a total of 102,814 signatures for proposed State Question 797.





As has been previously reported, the initiative required 123,725 signatures to be put on the ballot. That equates to 15 percent of 824,831, the total number of ballots cast in the 2014 gubernatorial election.

As required by law, the secretary of state’s office sent a report on its findings to the Oklahoma Supreme Court. The state Supreme Court will review the information and officially determine whether there are sufficient signatures to place the proposal on a ballot.
