The Oklahoma Supreme Court ruled in favor of an appeal from the State Question 805 campaign, requiring the Secretary of State’s Office to accept the group’s initiative petition signatures despite the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

Secretary of State Michael Rogers was ordered to accept the roughly 260,000 signatures in 10 days and begin the counting then so the state question can make it onto a ballot in 2020.

State Question 805 would prohibit the use of prior felony convictions to enhance sentences for nonviolent crimes.
