7 out of 10 Oklahoma Politicians are elected by the end of June - by less than 10% of voters.
Oklahoma belongs to the people—not the politicians, extremists, or big-money interests. Our state ranks dead last in voter turnout—and the folks in power like it that way. Right now, everyday Oklahomans aren’t showing up to vote when it counts the most - the June primaries. This means a tiny slice of the electorate is deciding our future—while the rest of us are sitting out of the decisions that shape our lives. If we can change that, our state leaders will be forced to start focusing on real solutions instead of partisan extremes. That starts with showing up to vote in June, when it matters most—and making sure our neighbors do the same.
June voting is like drafting your dream team - if you wait until November to show up, you lose the game.
Oklahoma had the lowest voter turnout in the nation in 2020 and 2024.
DATA COURTESY OF OKLAHOMA UNITED
In 2022, Oklahoma filled 168 offices. Only 7 had anything that could resemble a competetive November election.

In 2024, out of the 445 offices filled, only 7 had an *election of consequence in November. All other races were decided by the end of June, including 100% of county Sheriff elections.
DATA COURTESY OF OKLAHOMA UNITED - *”election of consequence means decided within 10 points.
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.
