The Case For Ballot Access Reform

Oklahomans for Ballot Access Reform is once again calling on state lawmakers to demonstrate their faith in democracy and hand the keys to the electoral process back over to the voting public. To this end, we have written and published a brief putting forth the evidence in support of Ballot Access Reform.

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:
