Okla. Stat. tit. 26, § 26-1-104: Closed primaries - Independent voters

A. No registered voter shall be permitted to vote in any

Primary Election or Runoff Primary Election of any political party

except the political party of which his registration form shows him

to be a member, except as otherwise provided by this section.

B. 1. A recognized political party may permit registered

voters designated as Independents pursuant to the provisions of

Section 4-112 of this title to vote in a Primary Election or Runoff

Primary Election of the party.

2. The state chairman of the party shall, between November 1

and 30 of every odd-numbered year, notify the Secretary of the State

Election Board as to whether or not the party intends to permit

registered voters designated as Independents to vote in a Primary

Election or Runoff Primary Election of the party. If the state

chairman notifies the Secretary of the State Election Board of the

party's intention to so permit, registered voters designated as

Independents shall be permitted to vote in any Primary Election or

Runoff Primary Election of the party held in the following two (2)

calendar years. If the state chairman of one party notifies the

Secretary of the State Election Board of the party's intent to so

permit, the notification period specified in this paragraph shall be

extended to December 15 for the state chairman of any other party to

so notify or to change prior notification. A registered voter

designated as Independent shall not be permitted to vote in a

Primary Election or Runoff Primary Election of more than one party.

3. Failure to so notify the Secretary of the State Election

Board shall serve to prohibit registered voters designated as

Independents from voting in a Primary Election or Runoff Primary

Election of the party.

party pursuant to the provisions of Section 1-108 of this title

shall, upon filing of the petitions seeking recognition of the

political party with the Secretary of the State Election Board,

notify the Secretary of the State Election Board as to whether or

not the party intends to permit registered voters designated as

Independents to vote in a Primary Election or Runoff Primary

Election of the party. If the party is recognized and the group of

persons seeking recognition of the party notifies the Secretary of

the State Election Board of such intention, registered voters

designated as Independents shall be permitted to vote in any Primary

Election or Runoff Primary Election of the party held prior to

January 1 of the following even-numbered year.
