Oklahoma held its general election on November 5, 2024, deciding 125 legislative seats and the office of Corporation Commissioner. No chamber changed party control.
Highlights
- Nothing moved in the Legislature: no seat changed parties and no incumbent lost, leaving Republicans with the same 81-20 House and 40-8 Senate supermajorities. State Democratic chair Alicia Andrews took comfort that her party "didn't lose a seat," even among the open seats it was defending. The stability is only partisan: term limits turned over the House, where Kyle Hilbert (R) succeeded Charles McCall as Speaker.
- The night's real surprise was on the judicial retention ballot, where voters removed Justice Yvonne Kauger from the Supreme Court by a hair, the first time in state history a justice has not been retained, while keeping Justices James Edmondson and Noma Gurich.
- In Oklahoma City, Democrats Mark Mann and Nikki Nice won the special elections for the unexpired terms in Senate Districts 46 and 48, Mann by 26 points. Kelly Hines (R) held Senate District 47 over Erin Brewer (D) by about six points, and House Minority Leader Cyndi Munson (D) won a fifth term in House District 85 over former county clerk David Hooten (R). The only race inside two points was House District 100, where Rep. Marilyn Stark (R) held on by fewer than 300 votes over Chaunté Gilmore (D). Across the 125 legislative races, 82 drew a single candidate, two of every three seats on the ballot.
- State Question 834, specifying that only citizens may vote, passed with 81 percent; State Question 833, which would have let property owners create public infrastructure districts to finance roads and parks, failed 62-38.
