Where this section sits in the code
  1. OK Code
  2. Title 26

A. Any recognized political party shall continue to be a

recognized political party if a candidate of that party for any

statewide elected office receives at least two and one-half percent

(2.5%) of the total votes cast for the office in either of the

preceding two general elections. If such a political party fails to

retain recognition, the party may regain recognition only by

following the procedure prescribed for formation of new political

parties. The State Election Board shall proclaim the fact of a

party's failure to receive a sufficient number of votes and shall

order that the party cease to be recognized.

B. Any recognized political party that ceases to be recognized

under provisions of this section shall be designated as a political

organization. Such political organization designation shall

terminate four (4) years from the date that the political party

ceases to be recognized or when the political organization regains

recognition as a political party, whichever is earlier.
