General election race ratings
- See also: Race rating definitions and methods
Ballotpedia provides race ratings from four outlets: The Cook Political Report, Inside Elections, Sabato's Crystal Ball, and DDHQ/The Hill. Each race rating indicates if one party is perceived to have an advantage in the race and, if so, the degree of advantage:
- Safe and Solid ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge and the race is not competitive.
- Likely ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge, but an upset is possible.
- Lean ratings indicate that one party has a small edge, but the race is competitive.[1]
- Toss-up ratings indicate that neither party has an advantage.
Race ratings are informed by a number of factors, including polling, candidate quality, and election result history in the race's district or state.[2][3][4]

Post-filing deadline analysis
The following analysis covers all U.S. House districts up for election in Oklahoma in 2022. Information below was calculated on June 8, 2022, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.
Twenty-eight candidates filed to run for Oklahoma’s five U.S. House districts, including five Democrats and 23 Republicans. That’s 5.6 candidates per district, more than the 5.4 candidates per district in 2020 and less than the 7.2 in 2018.
This was the first election to take place under new district lines following the 2020 census. Oklahoma was apportioned five districts, the same number it was apportioned after the 2010 census.
The 2nd district was the only open seat this year. That’s one more seat than in 2020 and the same as in 2018. Rep. Markwayne Mullin (R), who represented the 2nd district, ran for the U.S. Senate. Fifteen candidates — one Democrat and 14 Republicans — ran to replace Mullin, the most candidates who ran for a seat this year.
There were four contested Republican primaries, and no contested Democratic primaries. The four contested primaries this year were the fewest since at least 2014, and it was the first time since at least then when there were no contested Democratic primaries.
Rep. Kevin Hern (R), who represented the 1st district, was the only incumbent who didn't face a primary challenger this year. Republican and Democratic candidates filed to run in all five districts, so no seats were guaranteed to either party this year.
Presidential elections
As a result of redistricting following the 2020 census, many district boundaries changed. As a result, analysis of the presidential vote in each of these new districts is not yet available. Once that analysis is available, it will be published here.
