what does a vote ballot look like for the upcoming Broken Arrow, Oklahoma elections on Tuesday April 7th?

The Broken Arrow, Oklahoma ballot for the upcoming April 7 election appears to be a local ballot with city bond propositions and a sales tax measure, rather than a long list of candidates. Public election materials say voters will see Broken Arrow City propositions 1 through 7 for bond issues, plus Proposition 8 for a 0.5% five-year sales tax increase, and that sample ballots are available through Tulsa County and the Oklahoma State Election Board’s voter tools.

What it likely looks like

A typical sample ballot for this election should show:

  • The election title and precinct-specific contests.
  • City of Broken Arrow propositions numbered 1 through 8.
  • “Yes” and “No” voting options for each proposition.
    This is consistent with the ballot-card description published for the April 7 election.

Issues on the ballot

Based on the public summaries, the ballot is centered on:

  • Seven general obligation bond propositions for city projects.
  • One temporary half-cent sales tax proposition for sports facility improvements.
    News coverage describes the package as approximately $461 million in proposed projects, with the sales tax measure separate from the bond issues.

How to see your exact ballot

Your exact ballot can vary by precinct, so the safest way to see the version you’ll receive is to use the Oklahoma voter portal or the Tulsa County sample- ballot posting. The Broken Arrow Chamber also points voters to sample ballots before election day.

Practical note

If you want the actual layout, the most useful document is the precinct- specific sample ballot PDF, because that shows the precise wording and order of measures as they will appear to voters.
