The Oklahoma House Elections & Ethics Committee will hear HB 2181 and HB 1813 on Wednesday morning, February 18. Both of these bills lower the number of signatures for newly-qualifying parties. HB 2818 lowers it from 5% of the last vote cast to 1% of the last vote cast. HB 1813 lowers it to exactly 5,000 signatures. Thanks to Richard Prawdzienski for this news.
