Oklahoma requires a majority winner in most primary elections. On Tuesday, there will be runoffs in 10 legislative districts where no candidate crossed that threshold in the June 18 primary. They are all for the Republican nomination.
Separately, there is a mayoral election in Tulsa.
Tulsa Mayor
Tulsa is the nation's 48th largest city, with a population of about 412,000. This is for the city itself, not the associated metro area. Republican G.T. Bynum did not seek a third term in office.
There are seven candidates on the nonpartisan ballot. The three most prominent are Tulsa County Commissioner Karen Keith (D), state Rep. Monroe Nichols (D), and businessman Brent VanNorman (R). Those three participated in a debate earlier in August, after receiving at least 10% support in a qualifying poll.
That poll showed Keith leading with 46% support - well ahead of her two main competitors - and just short of the 50% needed to avoid a runoff.
If a runoff is required, it will take place November 5.
Polls close at 8:00 PM Eastern Time.
State Senate Primary Runoffs
Republicans dominate the Oklahoma State Senate, holding 40 of 48 seats. Members serve four-year staggered terms; the odd numbered districts are up in 2024.
Nominees will be determined Tuesday for these four GOP-held seats. The only incumbent forced into a runoff is Blake Stephens in District 3.
State House Primary Runoffs
Republicans also hold over 80% of the seats in the Oklahoma House of Representatives. Here the partisan advantage is 81-20 over Democrats. Members serve two-year terms.
Nominees will be determined Tuesday for these six GOP-held seats. Incumbents are involved in Districts 32 and 98.
