Oklahoma activists for easier ballot access are working hard to persuade the 2007 session of the legislature to give some relief. Already 30 incumbent Oklahoma legislators who are likely to be in the legislature next year have pledged to support an easing of ballot access requirements for new parties. Sponsors in each house of the legislature have stepped forward.
In November 2004, Oklahoma voters were the only voters in the nation who could not vote for president, unless they voted for George Bush or John Kerry.
