More Information
Oklahoma has a closed primary system. Only voters who are registered members of a recognized political party may vote for the party's candidates in primary and runoff primary elections. The state of Oklahoma currently recognizes three political parties: Democratic Party, Republican Party, and Libertarian Party.
When registering to vote, an Oklahoman may affiliate with any recognized party, or may register as No Party (Independent). Registered Independent voters may be eligible to vote in the party's primaries and runoff primaries if authorized by the party. For 2020 and 2021, the Democratic Party granted permission for Independents to vote in their primaries and runoff primaries. Independents cannot vote in Republican or Libertarian primaries.
Any registered Oklahoma voter may apply for an absentee ballot and vote by mail.
If you are voting in person in Oklahoma, you must present one of the following forms of ID at the time you vote:
- A current Oklahoma driver’s license
- A current photo ID issued by Oklahoma, the US government, or a federally recognized tribal government
- A military photo ID
- A county election board voter ID card
- US passport
Provisional ballots are sealed inside special envelopes and are not put through the voting device. After election day, County Election Board officials will investigate the information provided by the voter on the affidavit and either will approve the provisional ballot for counting or will reject it based on the outcome of that investigation. In order for a provisional ballot to be approved for counting, the information on the affidavit must match the information in the voter's registration record.
