7 out of 10 Oklahoma Politicians are elected in June - by less than 10% of voters.
This means a tiny fraction of voters decide your future—while the majority of voters are sitting out during the most critical election of the year - the June Republican Primary.
Oklahoma Has the Worst Voter Turnout in the United States.
In 2020 and 2024, Oklahoma had the lowest voter turnout in the country. Oklahomans are not voting - and when they do, most of them are missing the most important election that determines who is (or is not) representing them - the June Republican Primary.
In 2024, Oklahoma filled 168 state level offices. 70% of those were decided before the end of June. Waiting until November to show up to vote is like drafting your fantasy team after everyone else has already picked the players - a losing strategy.
Most Politicians Are Elected in the June Primary.
Of the races decided the 2024 June Primary, 86% were Republican. If you are frustrated with the state of our state - you better get to the ballot box on June 16th. Oklahoma primaries are closed, so if you’re not registered Republican, you can’t vote on that day.

Most of those June Primary Races are Republican.
The Majority of June Voters Are Over 55.
Parents, teachers, and young adults - who are most impacted by the issues - are not voting when it matters the most - JUNE. That’s why our leaders ignore the issues you care about most: the people deciding THEIR future jobs aren’t you. Don’t get us wrong, we love MeeMaw and PawPaw—but why let them be the only voices heard on election day?
In Oklahoma, the biggest decisions are being made by the people who show up to vote in June. The folks in power are banking on you to stay home.
Don’t.
