Oklahoma voters will be voting on State Question 832 on June 16. A "yes" vote supports raising the minimum wage to $12 per hour in 2027. Currently, the minimum wage in Oklahoma is $7.25, the same as the federal minimum wage, which it has been since 2009.
The ballot measure also includes language to increase the minimum wage to $13.50 in 2028, $15 in 2029, and to increase the minimum wage each year after 2029 according to inflation and cost of living increases. It also increases which individuals are subject to receiving minimum wage in the state, including people such as part-time employees, minors, farm and agricultural workers, amongst others.
