Oklahoma’s State Question 832 heads to June 16 vote on phased minimum-wage hikes

Oklahoma voters will decide State Question 832 in a special election on June 16, alongside the state’s primary contests for federal, state and local offices. The measure would lift the state minimum wage from $7.25 to $12 in 2027, $13.50 in 2028 and $15 in 2029, then apply annual cost-of-living adjustments. The proposal has split business organizations and wage-raise advocates, and observers say the result could signal how voters view inflation and the broader economy.
