The City of OKC sends this information as posted below:
Oklahoma City residents will head to the polls on Tuesday, Oct. 14, to vote on a proposed 2025 bond program. If passed, the $2.7 billion bond will fund critical infrastructure and community improvements across the City.
Ahead of the election, Oklahoma City is offering several ways residents can learn about the bond package:
- Visit okc.gov/bond25 to see project maps and explore details through an interactive online tool.
- Attend ward-based open houses to ask questions and learn more about projects in your neighborhood.
- Request a neighborhood meeting kit that includes posters, handouts, a presentation, social media content and other materials. Email public.info@okc.gov to request a toolkit.
The bond will include 11 separate propositions: bridges, traffic systems, drainage, fire facilities, transit and parking, City facilities, public safety, streets, parks, libraries and learning centers and economic and community development. If the propositions pass, it won’t raise property tax rates.
All Oklahoma City residents who are registered voters—or who register by Friday, Sept. 19—are eligible to vote.
“With 547 projects, the 2025 Bond represents improvements that expand across all of Oklahoma City, ” City Manager Craig Freeman said. “We’re providing residents with resources to explore the projects through our interactive map online, in-person events and other tools.”
Of the 547 projects, nearly 80% are critical infrastructure projects to address streets, bridges and traffic improvements.
Oklahoma City has used bonds to pay for critical infrastructure since before statehood.
