Oklahoma, 1 of 6 states with straight-party voting, not likely to change rule soon – By Ben Felder (The Oklahoman) / Nov 16, 2022
Oklahoma is one of six states where voters can submit a “straight party” ballot, meaning a voter can check one box to vote for every candidate in a particular political party, rather than voting in every individual race.
The impact in Oklahoma: Of the 1.1 million ballots counted in this month’s election, nearly 40% were straight-party ballots — 335,040 were straight-party Republican ballots, 139,000 were straight-party Democratic ballots, and about 5,300 were straight-party Libertarian ballots.
Two years ago, 46% of Oklahoma voters submitted a straight-party ballot.
