A mandatory 15 percent threshold is required in order for a presidential contender to be allocated National Convention delegates at either the congressional district or statewide level.

OKLAHOMA DELEGATE SELECTION PLAN FOR THE 2008 DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION - DISTRIBUTED FOR PUBLIC COMMENT MARCH 27, 2007

Oklahoma election law does not allow for write-in votes in the Presidential Preference Primary, nor is there any method for a voter to cast a vote for “uncommitted”.

Here is how we compute the delegate count (based on certified returns from an official source as of 11 February 2008):

A candidate must receive 15% or more of the total popular vote to qualify for delegates. Discard votes cast for those candidates who do not qualify. Clinton and Obama have qualified for delegates.
Allocate Congressional District delegates from the qualified vote in each district. Allocate Pledged PLEO and At-Large delegates using the state-wide qualified vote.
In each jurisdiction (CD and statewide):

Total qualified vote = total votes cast for the qualifying candidates in the jurisdiction.
Allocation = (delegates for the jurisdiction) × (candidate's popular vote) ÷ (total qualified vote).
Assign each candidate the WHOLE NUMBER of delegates.
If delegates remain, allocate each of the remaining delegates to those candidates with the LARGEST REMAINDERS.
