Summary
More than 56% of Oklahoma voters rejected State Question 832 on Tuesday night, defeating a ballot measure that would have raised the state minimum wage.
The proposal sought to lift hourly pay from $7.25 to $15 by 2029 through scheduled increases to $12 in 2027, $13.50 in 2028 and $15 in 2029.
Cost-of-living and inflation adjustments would have followed the 2029 increase if the measure had passed.
The vote leaves Oklahoma's minimum wage unchanged at $7.25 an hour, ending the measure's path in the 2026 primary election.
