Ballot Access Successes

May 2014

Governor Mary Fallin signed HB2181, lowering the petition requirement to form a new party to 3% of the last vote for Governor.

March 2016

The Libertarian Party successfully petitions for ballot access.

May 2016

Governor May Fallin signs SB896 into law, lowering the vote needed for a party to retain party access to 2.5% of the vote for Governor or President.

November 2016

Gary Johnson, Libertarian Candidate for President, wins 5.74% of the vote, more than doubling the percent needed for the Libertarian Party to retain ballot access.

May 2018

Governor Mary Fallin signed SB350 into law. This bill allows for the vote percentage for ballot retention to apply to any statewide office, as well as extend ballot access for 4 years rather than 2, paving the way for the Libertarian Party to retain ballot access through 2022.

In 2012, Oklahoma Voters Could Not Vote For:

Gary Johnson

Voters in 49 States and DC could.

Jill Stein

Voters in 42 States and DC could.

Virgil Goode

Voters in 38 States could.

Rocky Anderson

Voters in 28 States could.
