Resolution 47, introduced by Senators Paxton and Hilbert, proposes an amendment to the Oklahoma Constitution that would require voters to present proof of identity when voting in elections conducted by county or state election boards. This amendment aims to ensure that proof of identity is necessary for all authorized voting methods. Additionally, it mandates that the Oklahoma Legislature establish specific requirements for what constitutes acceptable proof of identity for voting purposes.

The resolution outlines a special election scheduled for August 25, 2026, during which Oklahoma voters will have the opportunity to approve or reject this proposed amendment. The ballot will include a title summarizing the measure, which emphasizes the requirement for proof of identity in voting and the legislative responsibility to define the specifics of this requirement. Following the passage of the resolution, copies will be filed with the Secretary of State and the Attorney General to facilitate the process.
