Here is a link to the Oklahoma State Election Board’s web page, showing that so far, only 823,761 ballots have been tallied for Governor. This number will rise when all the provisional and absentee ballots are handled, but it is very unlikely to rise above 850,000. That means that even if the 5% petition requirement is not changed by the 2015 session of the legislature, the number of signatures needed for party status in 2016 will be lower than at any time since 1980. If the final gubernatorial vote is 850,000, then the 2016 requirement would, if unaltered, be 42,500. By contrast, in 2012, it was 51,739.

Here is a link to the Nov. 1, 2014 Oklahoma voter registration data, showing 2,022,456 registered voters (including 8 Americans Elect registrants).

The December 1, 2014 Ballot Access News print edition will have a chart, showing the petition requirements in each state for president in 2016. That chart will also show which parties are on the ballot in each state. Thanks to E. Zachary Knight for the news about Oklahoma’s low turnout.
