The Republican governor’s race and a Democratic U.S. Senate runoff lead a ballot that also includes statewide and legislative contests and two state questions open to all voters.
OKLAHOMA CITY — Oklahoma’s primary season comes down to Tuesday, with voters settling a closely fought Republican race for governor, a Democratic runoff for U.S. Senate and several other contests across the state.
Attorney General Gentner Drummond and former state Sen. Mike Mazzei meet in the Republican governor’s runoff after a campaign marked by heavy outside spending and weeks of attacks.
Democrats, meanwhile, will choose between nurse N’Kiyla Jasmine Thomas and attorney Jim Priest for their U.S. Senate nomination. The winner will face Republican U.S. Rep. Kevin Hern in November.
Republicans also have runoffs for state superintendent, labor commissioner and insurance commissioner, along with legislative races around the state.
Two state questions — SQ 844 and SQ 846 — are on the ballot statewide and are open to all registered voters.
Polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday. Anyone in line by 7 p.m. will be allowed to vote.
Who can vote?
Oklahoma’s runoff primaries are closed by party.
Republicans may vote in Republican runoffs and Democrats may vote in Democratic runoffs. Independents cannot vote in either party’s runoff Tuesday.
Voters did not have to participate in the June primary to vote in Tuesday’s runoff.
The party restrictions do not apply to the two state questions. All registered Oklahoma voters — including independents — can vote on SQ 844 and SQ 846.
Voters also may have nonpartisan or local elections on their ballots depending on where they live.
