Primary election competitiveness

See also: Primary election competitiveness in state and federal government, 2022

This section contains data on state legislative primary election competitiveness in Oklahoma. These totals include data from all regularly-scheduled House and Senate elections. For more information about Ballotpedia's competitiveness analysis of state legislative elections, please click here.

Post-filing deadline analysis

The following analysis covers all state legislative districts up for election in Oklahoma in 2022. Information below was calculated on June 10, 2022, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.

Eighty-eight of the 125 state legislative districts up for election in Oklahoma in 2022 were uncontested, meaning voters in 70% of districts had either only a Democrat or only a Republican on their general election ballots. This was both the largest number and highest rate of uncontested districts since 2014.

Uncontested districts lack major party competition, which effectively guarantees that candidates from one of the two major parties will win the general election. In 2022, there were 14 districts with only Democratic candidates on the ballot and 74 with only Republicans. The remaining 37 districts featured candidates from both major parties.

In 2016 and 2018, Oklahoma had an increased rate of major party competition, with a majority of districts contested by both major parties. That changed in 2020 and the number of uncontested districts continued to grow in 2022.

Uncontested Democratic districts were concentrated in the urban areas of Oklahoma City and Tulsa, while uncontested Republican districts occupied the state's more rural areas. Districts contested by both major parties were primarily located outside of the urban areas and in the state's southwestern corner.

Use the maps below to view the contested status of each of the 101 House and 24 Senate districts that held elections in 2022:

Here's a look at all 101 districts up for election in the House:

Overall, 237 major party candidates—58 Democrats and 179 Republicans—filed to run in 2022, down from 247 in 2020 and 418 in 2018.

Before candidates can advance to their general elections, some must pass through contested primaries. In 2022, there were 50 contested primaries where candidates from the same party compete against one another for their respective party's nomination.

This was the second-lowest number of primaries since 2014. The number of contested Democratic primaries decreased 25% from eight in 2020 to six in 2022. For Republicans, the number remained the same at 44.

Open seats

The table below shows the number and percentage of open seats in the Oklahoma House of Representatives from 2010 to 2022.[2] It will be updated as information becomes available following the state’s candidate filing deadline.

Open Seats in Oklahoma House of Representatives elections: 2010 - 2022
Year Total seats Open seats Seats with incumbents running for re-election
2022 101 14 (14 percent) 87 (86 percent)
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 also: Ballot access requirements for political candidates in Oklahoma

DocumentIcon.jpg 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:[3][4][5]

  • 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.[6]

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.[7]

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).[8]

Filing fees vary according to the office being sought by the candidate and are described in the table below.[8]

Filing fees

Governor of Oklahoma $2,000
United States Senator $2,000
United States Representative
Lieutenant Governor

Superintendent of Public Instruction
Treasurer

Commissioner of Labor
$1,000
State Senator $750

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.[9][10][11][12]

Footnotes

  1. 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.
  2. Ballotpedia defines a seat as open if the incumbent did not file to run for re-election or filed but withdrew and did not appear on any ballot for his or her seat. If the incumbent withdrew from or did not participate in the primary but later chose to seek re-election to his or her seat as a third party or independent candidate, the seat would not be counted as open. If the incumbent retired or ran for a different seat in the same chamber, his or her original seat would be counted as open unless another incumbent from the same chamber filed to run for that seat, in which case it would not be counted as open due to the presence of an incumbent.
