THE PROBLEM
Too few Oklahomans are registered to vote.
Did you know that more than 1,000,000 eligible Oklahomans were not registered to vote in the election of November, 2018? And less than half of all Oklahoman’s who were eligible to vote actually voted (49.4%). Oklahoma consistently ranks low among states in voter registration and voter turnout percentage.
YEAR | REGISTRATION % | REGISTRATION RANK | TURNOUT % | TURNOUT RANK |

2016 | 67.80% | 43rd | 56.60% | 46th |
2018 | 65.10% | 38th | 49.40% | 42nd |
2018 % of Eligible Who Voted
2018 % of 18-24 Who Voted
2018 % of 25-34 Who Voted
2018 % Over 65 Who Voted
The historical data clearly indicates that far too many voices are going unheard.
