After the 2018 election cycle, Republicans retained trifecta control of Oklahoma state government. Republicans established trifecta control in 2011.

Trifectas

Trifectas influence how hard a party must work to advance its agenda.

When one party controls the three vital centers of state political power—the office of the governor, the state House, and the state Senate —Ballotpedia considers that party to control a "trifecta." Trifectas make it easier for the dominant party to pursue its agenda, and more difficult for opposition parties to challenge it.

There are currently 36 trifectas: 21 Republican trifectas and 15 Democratic trifectas. Oklahoma is one of the 21 state governments under Republican control.

In Oklahoma, Republicans held trifecta control of state government from 2011 to 2017. Democrats held trifecta control from 1992 to 1994 and again from 2003 to 2004. In all other years from 1992 to 2017, control of state government was divided.
