Oklahoma voters will decide whether to raise the minimum wage in the state’s 2026 primary election.

OKLAHOMA CITY (KOKH) — The deadline for voters to weigh in on State Question 832, which would raise Oklahoma’s minimum wage, is set for 2026.

Gov. Kevin Stitt issued an executive order Tuesday that will put the issue on the ballot in the state’s June 16, 2026, primary election.

If State Question 832 passes, the minimum wage would increase to $9 in 2025, then increase annually by $1.50 until it reaches $15 an hour in 2029.

Beginning in 2030, the minimum wage will increase each year by the increase in the cost of living as measured by the U.S. Department of Labor’s Consumer Price Index.

FOX 25 reached out to the Governor’s Office to request a 2026 date because if the measure passes, it would take effect in 2025.

A spokesperson for the Governor’s Office responded, “Consistent with state law, Secretary Cockroft and the State Board of Elections have recommended the next possible statewide vote to be held in June 2026 for the state primary.”

State Question 832 has collected enough signatures to be placed on the ballot. A total of 157,287 signatures have been collected.
