Oklahoma Elections

Oklahoma’s 2026 election calendar features municipal races and school board elections Feb. 10 and April 7, followed by packed ballots for the year’s statewide and legislative primary (June 10), runoff (Aug. 25) and general (Nov. 3) elections.

This year features open races for governor, lieutenant governor, attorney general, state superintendent of public instruction, insurance commissioner, corporation commissioner, state auditor and inspector, and commissioner of labor. In addition, voters will select dozens of district and associate district court judges.
