2024 Presidential Preferential Primary and 2024 Presidential Preferential Primary Candidates from the Oklahoma State Election Board.

Delegate Selection Plan from the Oklahoma Democratic Party.

16 June 2023: DNC Rules and Bylaws Committee Meeting found this plan in conditional compliance.

18 December 2023: State Election Board Secretary Paul Ziriax announced today that he has been notified by the Oklahoma Democratic Party that it will allow Independents to vote in its primaries and runoff primaries during the 2024-2025 election years. Meanwhile, the Oklahoma Republican Party notified the Secretary that it will keep its primaries closed to Independent voters. The Libertarian Party did not formally send a notification; therefore, by default, the Libertarian Party primaries will remain closed as designated by state law.


   

Participation in Oklahoma's delegate selection process is open to all voters who wish to participate as Democrats. Voters publicly declare their Party preference when they register to vote. In November of each odd-numbered year, ... parties declare whether or not they will permit Independents to vote in their primary elections .... For 2024, only registered Democrats are eligible to participate [Delegate Selection Plant Section 1 C. 1. b.].
