District map
Redistricting
2020-2021
Gov. Kevin Stitt (R) signed a new congressional map into law on November 22, 2021. [14] On November 17, 2021, the Oklahoma House of Representatives voted 75-19 to approve the map.[15] On November 19, 2021, the Oklahoma State Senate voted to approve the map 36-10.[16]This map took effect for Oklahoma's 2022 congressional elections.
How does redistricting in Oklahoma work? In Oklahoma, both congressional and state legislative district boundaries are drawn by the Oklahoma State Legislature. These lines may be vetoed by the governor.[17]
If the legislature is unable to approve a state legislative redistricting plan, a backup commission must draw the lines. The commission comprises the following seven members:[17]
- The governor appoints one Republican and one Democrat.
- The majority leader of the Oklahoma State Senate appoints one Republican and one Democrat.
- The majority leader of the Oklahoma House of Representatives appoints one Republican and one Democrat.
- The lieutenant governor serves as the non-voting chair of the commission.
The Oklahoma Constitution requires that state Senate district boundaries take into account "population, compactness, area, political units, historical precedents, economic and political interests, contiguous territory, and other major factors."[17]
The redistricting committee of the state House adopted redistricting guidelines similar to the senatorial district requirements described above. These guidelines apply to state House and congressional districts, as well. These guidelines may be amended by the state legislature at its discretion.[17]
2020
2024
2010-2011
In April 2011, the Oklahoma State Legislature approved a new map of the congressional districts based on updated population information from the 2010 census. Governor Mary Fallin signed the new map into law on May 20, 2011.[18]
