Three Ballot Measures Sent To Full House For Approval

Oklahoma voters would get to decide if the governor and lieutenant governor should run on a ticket together, whether Oklahomans need more gun rights, and if the entire state constitution should be rewritten.

The House Rules Committee approved the three separate measures on Wednesday that would send proposals to a vote of the people. All three resolutions now go to the full House.

Republican Rep. Gary Banz of Midwest City wants the people to decide if the governor and lieutenant governor should run together, and whether it's time for a state constitutional convention.

A separate proposal by Republican Rep. Dan Fisher of El Reno calls for a public vote on whether to amend the constitution to strengthen an individual's right to keep and bear arms.
