State Question 836

AJ Griffin will join us to talk about the effort to gather signatures to place State Question 836 on the November 2026 ballot. SQ 836 would end Oklahoma's closed primary system and replace it with open primaries. In the open primary system proposed by SQ 836, all voters, regardless of party affiliation, would be able to vote in a single primary election in which all candidates appear on one ballot along with their party registrations. The top two vote getters would move to the general election. SQ 836 would not affect the presidential election process. Also, it should be noted ranked choice voting is not a component of SQ 836. The proposed ballot language may be found by clicking here. (Our annual meeting will also be conducted during this meeting.)
