Republicans gained seats in the 2020 elections for Oklahoma House of Representatives, expanding their supermajority. All 101 seats in the chamber were up for election in 2020. Heading into the election, Republicans held 76 seats, Democrats held 25, and two were vacant. Republicans gained a net six seats and Democrats lost a net four seats, meaning Republicans expanded their supermajority to 82-19.
The Oklahoma House of Representatives was one of 86 state legislative chambers with elections in 2020. All 101 House seats were up for election in 2020. There are 99 chambers throughout the country. In 2018, 87 out of 99 legislative chambers held elections.
Oklahoma's 2020 state legislative elections affected partisan control of redistricting following the 2020 census. In Oklahoma, the state legislature is responsible for drafting both congressional and state legislative district plans. District plans are subject to gubernatorial veto.
Election procedure changes in 2020
Ballotpedia provided comprehensive coverage of how election dates and procedures changed in 2020. While the majority of changes occurred as a result of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, some changes occurred for other reasons.
Oklahoma modified its absentee/mail-in voting procedures for the November 3, 2020, general election as follows:
- Absentee/mail-in voting: Voters casting absentee ballots could submit copies of their identification in lieu of fulfilling the notarization requirement in the event of a state of emergency occurring within 45 days of an election. Individuals experiencing symptoms indicative of COVID-19, and individuals classified as vulnerable to infection, could cast an absentee ballot under the 'physical incapacitation' eligibility criterion.

Incumbents who were not re-elected
Incumbents defeated in the general election
Three incumbents lost in the Nov. 3 general election. Those incumbents were:
| Name | Party | Office |
|---|---|---|
| Matt Meredith |  Democratic |
House District 4 |
| Chelsey Branham | Democratic |
House District 83 |
| Kelly Albright | Democratic |
House District 95 |
Incumbents defeated in primary elections
Three incumbents lost in the June 30 primaries, a decrease from the 12 defeated in 2018, but higher than the two in 2016. Those incumbents were:
| Name | Party | Office |
|---|---|---|
| Lundy Kiger | |
House District 3 |
| Derrel Fincher | |
House District 11 |
| Jason Dunnington | |
House District 88 |
Retiring incumbents
There were nine open seats where the incumbent legislator did not file for re-election in 2020.[1] Those incumbents were:
| Name | Party | Office |
|---|---|---|
| Johnny Tadlock |  Republican |
House District 1 |
| Ben Loring | Democratic |
House District 7 |
| Zack Taylor | Republican |
House District 28 |
| Charles Ortega | Republican |
House District 52 |
| David Perryman | Democratic |
House District 56 |
| Harold Wright | Republican |
House District 57 |
| Mike Sanders | Republican |
House District 59 |
| Shane Stone | Democratic |
House District 89 |
| Lewis Moore | Republican |
House District 96 |
In District 7, Rep. Ben Loring, a Democrat, did not seek re-election, leaving the seat open. The only candidate who filed to run was Republican Steve Bashore, meaning the partisan control of District 7 was guaranteed to flip from Democrat to Republican at the time of the April 10 filing deadline.
The nine seats left open in 2020 represented the lowest number of open seats within the preceding decade. The table below shows the number of open seats in each election held between 2010 and 2020.
| Open Seats in Oklahoma House of Representatives elections: 2010 - 2020 | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Year | Total seats | Open seats | Seats with incumbents running for re-election |
| 2020 | 101 | 9 (9 percent) | 92 (91 percent) |
| 2018 | 101 | 32 (32 percent) | 69 (68 percent) |
| 2016 | 101 | 31 (31 percent) | 70 (69 percent) |
| 2014 | 101 | 21 (21 percent) | 80 (79 percent) |
| 2012 | 101 | 13 (13 percent) | 88 (87 percent) |
| 2010 | 101 | 14 (14 percent) | 87 (86 percent) |
Process to become a candidate
See statutes: Title 26, Chapter 5 of the Oklahoma Code
Filing
Each candidate must file a declaration of candidacy with the Oklahoma State Election Board to place his or her name on the ballot. The declaration must be filed during the candidate filing period, which begins on the first Wednesday in April and ends on the following Friday. The declaration of candidacy must be signed and notarized and include the following:[2][3][4]
- the name of the candidate
- the candidate's address
- the office the candidate seeks
- the candidate's date of birth
- the candidate's political party affiliation
- the precinct and county where the candidate is a registered voter
- a sworn oath affirming that the candidate is qualified to become a candidate for the office being sought and to hold that office if elected
A partisan candidate must be a registered voter of the political party with which he or she wishes to run for at least six months immediately preceding the first day of the candidate filing period. An independent candidate must be registered as an independent voter for at least six months before filing as a candidate. A candidate of a new political party that has not been officially recognized for six months must be registered with that party within 15 days following its recognition.[5]
A candidate may file for only one office per election. There is no process for candidates to run as write-ins as write-in voting is not permitted in Oklahoma.[6]
Fees
Each candidate must pay a filing fee to the Oklahoma State Election Board or else file a petition signed by 4 percent of registered voters who will be eligible to vote for the candidate in the election (this figure is determined by using the latest January 15 voter registration report).[7]
Filing fees vary according to the office being sought by the candidate and are described in the table below.[7]
| Filing fees | |
|---|---|
| Office sought | Filing fee |
| Governor of Oklahoma | $2,000 |
| United States Senator | $2,000 |
| United States Representative Lieutenant Governor Corporation Commission Attorney General State Auditor and Inspector Superintendent of Public Instruction Treasurer Commissioner of Insurance Commissioner of Labor |
$1,000 |
| State Senator | $750 |
| State Representative District Judge or Associate District Judge District Attorney |
$500 |
| County Offices | $300 |
Challenges
Any candidate may challenge another candidate’s candidacy by filing a written petition of contest with the Oklahoma State Election Board. If there is only one candidate running for office, any registered voter who is eligible to vote for that candidate may file a contesting petition. This must be done by 5 p.m. on the second business day after the close of the candidate filing period. The contesting petition must be accompanied by a deposit of $250, which will be returned to the challenger if he or she successfully proves that the candidate does not fulfill all requirements to be a candidate for that office.[8][9][10][11]

Voter information
How the primary works
A primary election is an election in which registered voters select a candidate that they believe should be a political party's candidate for elected office to run in the general election. They are also used to choose convention delegates and party leaders. Primaries are state-level and local-level elections that take place prior to a general election. In Oklahoma, the Republican Party conducts a closed primary, in which only registered party members may participate. The Democratic Party holds a semi-closed primary, in which unaffiliated voters may participate.[15]

Poll times
In Oklahoma, all polls are open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Central Time. An individual who is in line at the time polls close must be allowed to vote.[16]
Registration requirements
Voter ID requirements
Oklahoma requires voters to present identification while voting.[17] Generally, voters are required to present a photo ID, but there is an exception to this requirement.
Valid forms of identification include government-issued photo IDs and county election board voter identification cards (which do not include photographs).
Voters can present a document issued by the United States government, the State of Oklahoma, or a federally recognized tribal government. The document must include the following information:
- Name
- Photograph
- Expiration date that is after the date of the election[17]
Early voting
Oklahoma permits early voting. Learn more by visiting this website.
Early voting permits citizens to cast ballots in person at a polling place prior to an election. In states that permit no-excuse early voting, a voter does not have to provide an excuse for being unable to vote on Election Day. States that allow voters to cast no-excuse absentee/mail-in ballots in person are counted as no-excuse early voting states.
Forty-seven states and the District of Columbia permit no-excuse early voting.
Absentee voting
All voters are eligible to vote absentee in Oklahoma. There are no special eligibility requirements for voting absentee.[18]
Applications for absentee ballots must be received by 5 p.m. on the third Monday preceding an election. A returned absentee ballot must then be received by election officials before 7 p.m. on Election Day.[18]
Although all Oklahoma voters are eligible to vote absentee, those who are physically incapacitated, living in a nursing home, or serving in the military or living overseas may request a special absentee ballot designed for their circumstances.[18]

- ↑ Ballotpedia defines an incumbent as retiring if the incumbent did not file for office or filed for office but withdrew, was disqualified, or otherwise left a race in a manner other than losing the primary, primary runoff, or convention. If an incumbent runs as a write-in candidate, Ballotpedia does not consider them to be retiring. If an incumbent runs in the same chamber for a different seat, Ballotpedia does not consider them to be retiring.
