During a general obligation (GO) bond election, voters decide whether to fund major infrastructure projects across the city.

GO bonds are municipal bonds that allow state and local governments to raise money for projects that may not generate a direct revenue stream – like building and rebuilding streets, bridges, sidewalks and more. This type of bond is the City’s most important tool to maintain and expand its infrastructure and relies on property taxes for funding, and Oklahoma City’s strong credit rating means it can issue bonds at low interest rates for a sustainable and efficient funding source.

Bond projects on the ballot in 2025 will be determined by resident survey results, street and bridge ratings, planning studies, the City Council’s strategic priorities and operating impact.
