Annual Voter Registration Report Reveals Steady Growth

(Oklahoma City) – The Oklahoma State Election Board has released its annual voter registration report showing 2,301,188 registered voters in Oklahoma. Oklahoma’s official voter registration statistics are counted every year on January 15.

According to Oklahoma State Election Board Secretary Paul Ziriax, the largest number of Oklahoma's voters are Republicans, who make up 51.7% of registered voters. Democrats are the second-largest party with 28.4% of registered voters.

Meanwhile, both the Libertarian Party (which gained recognition in 2016) and Independent voters continue to see steady growth. Libertarians now account for almost 1% of Oklahoma voters and Independents (those with no party affiliation) round out the total with 19% of registered voters.
