Okla. Stat. tit. 62, § 62-826: Approval or rejection by Governor of Final Project Plan –

Election proclamation.

A. After receipt and review of the Final Project Plan, the

Governor shall either approve the Final Project Plan and the terms

and conditions contained therein, or the Governor shall reject the

plan and return it to the Oklahoma Department of Commerce along with

any revisions which the Governor may deem appropriate. If returned

to the Department, the Department will revise the plan and resubmit

the plan to the Governor.

B. Once the Final Project Plan is approved by the Governor, the

Governor shall then issue an election proclamation calling for an

election to be held within each of the municipalities and counties

listed in the Final Project Plan. The election proclamation shall

set a date on which elections shall be held within each of the

listed municipalities and counties. The elections shall be

conducted by the appropriate county election board or boards

pursuant to the general election laws of the state, but shall be

coordinated by the State Election Board under such procedures as it

may, by rule, prescribe. Notice of the election shall be given by

the mayor of each municipality or by the county commissioners of

each county, by advertisement weekly for at least four times in a

newspaper of general circulation in said municipality or county,

with the last publication to be not less than ten (10) days prior to

the date of the elections. All costs associated with the holding of

such elections shall be paid for by the Department, and no municipal

or county funds shall be used; provided, however, that the Governor

is authorized to accept donations from private parties for the

purpose of defraying all or a portion of the costs associated with

the holding of such elections.

C. The State Election Board shall certify the results of such

elections and shall forward the same to the Governor.
