  • Proposes amending Oklahoma Constitution Article II, Section 12 to allow state officers to serve on active duty in the National Guard or military reserves if ordered to do so by proper authority

  • Currently, the constitution prohibits state officeholders from holding federal offices; this exception would carve out military active duty service

  • Directs the Secretary of State to refer the proposed amendment to voters for approval or rejection as a ballot measure

  • Includes specific ballot title language explaining that the measure would allow state officers to serve on active duty when called, overriding the dual office-holding prohibition
