Oklahoma voters are rallying to change their primary election process, aiming to collect 173,000 signatures by January 28th to put State Question 836 on the November 2026 ballot. This proposal would allow all voters, regardless of party, to vote in primary races, with the top two finishers advancing to the general election. Supporters believe this open system will boost participation and make elections more fair and inclusive, while critics argue it could force parties to accept candidates they don't agree with. The effort is mostly volunteer-led, with a recent Supreme Court ruling clearing the way for signature collection.
