State Question 844
August 25, 2026 · Oklahoma · Statewide
How do we calculate vote impact?
Vote impact = representation (how much weight one vote carries here, the smaller the district's population, the higher the representation) + decisiveness (how likely this race is to be close, based on past results and number of candidates).
Representation: Average · 54 out of 100
This district is mid-sized for its type, so each vote carries average weight. About 4,028,634 people live here.
score = 100 × ln(largest population ÷ this district's) ÷ ln(largest ÷ smallest), rounded to 2 decimals = 100 × ln(39,287,377 ÷ 4,028,634) ÷ ln(39,287,377 ÷ 582,397) = 54.08, comparing all statewide districts nationwide (grades: 66+ high, 33+ average, otherwise low)
Ballot measure: +1 step
Your vote sets the policy directly, so the rating gets a one-step boost.
Average representation + a ballot-measure boost → High vote impact.
Ballot Measure
This measure would let the Oklahoma Legislature set how much the state reimburses local entities for property-tax revenue lost under the five-year manufacturing exemption. The exemption itself would remain in place, while future laws would establish reimbursement levels and methods for schools, counties, cities and towns, emergency medical services districts, vocational-technical schools, junior colleges, county health departments, and libraries, with the stated goal of preventing one county's reimbursement from harming others. For political-subdivision debt limits, the amount counted for exempt property would become the reimbursement amount set under those future laws. The measure sets no reimbursement rate or dollar amount; the official fiscal analysis says its effects on local revenue, state school funding, and the state reimbursement fund are unknown and depend on later legislation.
A YES vote means
A YES vote would amend the Oklahoma Constitution while keeping the five-year manufacturing property-tax exemption. The Legislature would set reimbursement levels and methods for affected local entities, and those reimbursement amounts would also determine how much exempt property counts toward political-subdivision debt limits; actual financial effects would depend on future laws.
A NO vote means
A NO vote would leave the current constitutional framework in place: the state would continue reimbursing the listed local entities for revenue lost under the five-year manufacturing exemption through the current statutory framework, and the proposed reimbursement-based change to debt-limit valuation would not take effect.
