Post-filing deadline analysis
The following analysis covers all state legislative districts up for election in Oklahoma in 2024. Information below was calculated on April 25, 2024, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.
There were 125 legislative seats up for election this year in Oklahoma's legislature—24 in the Senate and 101 in the House. There were 51 total contested primaries in 2024 (six Democratic and 45 Republican). This was in line with the numbers from the past two cycles (49 in 2022 and 52 in 2020).
Incumbents facing primary challengers follow a similar trend. In 2024, 29 incumbents faced primary challengers, a rate of 28.2%. That figure was 26 (24.8%) in 2022 and 33 (28.9%) in 2020.
Oklahoma legislators are limited to serving 12 total years in either or both chambers. Three members of the Senate were term-limited in 2024, and four members of the House were term-limited.
The decade-high for both contested primaries and incumbents facing primary challengers was in 2018. That year, there were 117 contested primaries (49 Democratic and 68 Republican) and 37 incumbents faced primary challengers, a rate of 45.1%.

Footnotes
- ↑ 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.
