Oklahoma primary election guide for Bartians
Early voting opens June 11
Primary Election day in Oklahoma is June 16.
Across the state voters will weigh in on the potential next governor and whether the minimum wage should be raised.
Here’s what to know to be ready.
Closed primaries across the state
In Oklahoma, closed primaries mean only voters who are registered with a major party can participate in the Primary Election.
To check your registration visit the Oklahoma Secretary of State’s website. The last day to register to vote in the primaries was may 22.
Tight governor’s race
Nine GOP candidates want to succeed Gov. Kevin Stitt, while just two Democrats are seeking the state’s highest office.
Cyndi Munson, the Democratic House leader, and Connie Johnson, a former state senator, will be on the Democratic ticket.
GOP’s crowded ticket includes Attorney General Gentner Drummond, former state public safety adviser Chip Keating, former state Sen. Mike Mazzei, former House Speaker Charles McCall, former state Senator Jake Merrick, small business owners Jennifer Domenico, Leisa Mitchell Haynes and Kenneth Sturgell, and Calup Taylor.
Domenico, 62, is from Bartlesville.
“If I am elected governor, this animosity will stop. It must stop. We live in a state that experiences tornadoes and other natural disasters. Do Oklahomans want to be at the point that we are not going to help each other if someone is in distress and has a Trump flag still flying or a Resistance flag flying after a tornado ripped through a residence? No! This is Oklahoma,” Domenico said in a Q&A with the Oklahoman.
Washington County Assessor
The race for Washington County Assessor will be decided in the primary between Republicans Steve Campbell and Chris Standridge.
Campbell, the incumbent, has served in his role for four years. Standridge is a former employee of the Assessor’s Office.
