Oklahoma’s November general election is today. What to know about state, local races.
Here’s what we know about Election Day results
In 2016, election results were ready the next day, but 2020 was a different story so what will this year be like? Here’s what we know now.
It’s officially Election Day in Oklahoma. This election includes the presidential election, where voters will select their choices for the next U.S. president.
Across the state, voters will weigh in on two statewide referendum questions that ask about public infrastructure districts and citizenship to vote.
Other races on the ballot depend on where you live. Some voters will have referendums for school funding, plus elections for local offices like mayor or state representative.
It’s expected that all Oklahoma-only races will be decided tonight, but the presidential election may not be called until late Tuesday night, if not in the morning.
Here’s what to know about voting in Oklahoma today and what races and questions you should expect to see on your ballot:
What time do polls open?
Polling places open at 7 a.m. and will close at 7 p.m. Tuesday. Lines are typically their longest just before and after work hours and during lunch hours, according to the Oklahoma State Election Board.
If you arrive at your polling place and are in line by 7 p.m., you can still vote in the election as long as you do not leave the line. This includes if you are lined up outside the polling place and have yet to go in.
Where do I vote?
Oklahomans have designated polling places to vote and there are dozens across the OKC metro.
To find your polling place, go to the OK Voter Portal at okvoterportal.okelections.gov.
There, enter your first and last name and date of birth to find your specific polling place, as well as to see sample ballots, upcoming elections and more.
What do I need to bring to vote?
All in-person voters will need to provide proof of identity in one of the following ways:
- A valid photo ID issued by the federal, state or tribal government
- A voter identification card
- Sign an affidavit and vote a provisional ballot; if the information on the affidavit matches official voter registration records, the ballot will be counted after Election Day
Who is on the ballot?
Several races are on the ballot and throughout the state. To find names and information regarding each candidate, go to oklahoman.com/news/elections.

What do the state questions mean?
There are two Oklahoma state questions to vote on in this election cycle, tackling different topics.
Oklahoma State Question No. 833
State Question 833 is a legislative referendum, meaning it was put on the ballot by the legislature rather than an initiative petition by citizens. It would add Section 9E to Article 10 to the Oklahoma Constitution, which would “permit the creation of public infrastructure districts to provide support, organization, operation, and maintenance of services.”
Oklahoma State Question No. 834
Also, a legislative referendum, SQ 834 would change Article 3, Section 1 of the Oklahoma Constitution to say “only” citizens of the United States are qualified to vote in the state. This section of the constitution currently says “all” citizens of the United States are qualified to vote.
NORMAN — Oklahoma softball’s transfer portal activity may have been fairly slow developing.
But now, as the portal window nears its end, the Sooners have started having success.
Oklahoma added outfielder Adi Hansen, a standout at the College of Southern Idaho for the last two seasons on Thursday.
Hansen’s announcement, made on Instagram, followed shortly after Middle Tennessee outfielder Macie Harter announced her commitment to the Sooners.
Hansen led the Golden Eagles with a .457 batting average in 186 at bats in 2026, with an eye-popping 82 runs scored and a school-record 62 stolen bases on 67 attempts.
Hansen had 17 games with two or more stolen bases this season and twice had four stolen bases in a game.
Hansen had four triples and 21 RBIs, drawing 23 walks.
She earned NJCAA first-team All-America honors, helping her team finish 43-13 with a NJCAA Division I Juco World Series appearance.

In 2025, as a freshman, Hansen hit .401 with 36 stolen bases and 62 ruyns scored.
Hansen is a Logan, Utah, product.
Hansen and Harter join a group of outfielders that includes Kai Minor in centerfield and Ella Parker in right field.
The Sooners lost Abby Dayton to graduation and Kasidi Pickering to transfer after the season. Pickering will reportedly transfer to Texas Tech.
Oklahoma finished 52-10 last season, missing the Women’s College World Series for the first time since 2015 after falling to Mississippi State in three games in the Norman Super Regional.
The Sooners have a strong incoming recruiting class and return a trio of pitchers — Audrey Lowry, Miali Guachino and Allyssa Parker — as well as experienced hitters Kendall Wells, Gabbie Garcia, Nelly McEnroe-Marinas plus Minor and Ella Parker.
In addition to the departures of Dayton and Pickering, the Sooners also lost pitchers Sydney Berzon and Kierston Deal, first baseman Isabela Emerling, and second baseman Ailana Agbayani to graduation. Outfielder Tia Milloy, pitcher Berkley Zache and utility player Riley Zache also entered the transfer portal.
Oklahoma’s incoming class includes Edmond Santa Fe pitcher Keegan Baker, Lakewood, Calif., infielder Ki’ele Ho-Ching, Mililani, Hawaii, infielder Ori Mailo, Fullerton, Calif., pitcher Malaya Majam-Finch, Katy, Texas, pitcher EK Smith, and Mesa, Ariz., outfilder Payton Westra.
Mailo was with the Sooners this season, redshirting after joining the program a year early.

OKLAHOMA CITY (KOKH) — Oklahoma City police are investigating an early morning shooting that left one man injured in northeast Oklahoma City.
Around 3 a.m. on Thursday, emergency crews were called to a reported shooting near Kelley and Wilshire Blvd.
Investigators say the shooting occurred between a couple inside the home, adding that the woman shot the man.
However, police say they are trying to determine if the shooting was accidental.
The victim was rushed to the hospital for treatment.
BE THE FIRST TO COMMENT
The woman has been taken into custody for questioning, but it is unknown if she will face charges just yet.
Oklahoma is just three outs away from steamrolling through the right side of the bracket and knocking out Georgia to reach the championship finals.
To prepare, let’s take a look at what arms we should expect for the Sooners just like we did for the North Carolina earlier.
The Sooners have leaned heavily on their freshmen pitching trio in Cord Rager, Xander Mercurius and Nick Wesloski throughout Omaha. The first two went at least seven innings, while Wesloski tossed 5.2 innings on Wednesday. Even though they used relievers LJ Mercurius and Jackson Cleveland in the first two games, neither pitched more than two innings nor allowed a run.
If LJ, who entered for Wesloski on Wednesday, finishes the game, he will have gone 3.1 innings.
That sets up Oklahoma very well to matchup with UNC, which went 3-0 and also hasn’t used many arms up to this point.
If OU does win, expect Rager, Xander Mercurius and Cleveland to be ready to go. Rager, who hasn’t pitched since their first round game against Alabama on Saturday, June 13, would have a full week of rest.
