由于错过了通知截止日期, 俄克拉荷马州的独立人士被禁止参加2026年2027年的党派初选. Oklahoma independents barred from 2026–2027 party primaries due to missed notice deadline.

在2026-2027年选举周期期间,俄克拉荷马州独立选民将被禁止参加民主党和共和党的初选,因为州选举委员会裁定,没有政党提交允许他们参加选举的必要通知。 Independent voters in Oklahoma will be barred from participating in Democratic and Republican primaries during the 2026–2027 election cycles after the state election board ruled no party submitted the required notification to allow their participation. 尽管俄克拉荷马民主党声称它遵守了最后期限,但董事会说,它8月的通知涉及选票符号变更,而不是主要准入。 Despite the Oklahoma Democratic Party's claim it met the deadline, the board said its August notice pertained to a ballot symbol change, not primary access. 根据国家法律,该决定将超过487 000名注册的独立人士排除在选择政党提名者之外。 The decision, based on state law, excludes over 487,000 registered independents from selecting party nominees. 民主党计划寻求法律咨询,同时继续努力将国家问题836放在选票上,这将使所有选民都能参加初选。 The Democratic Party plans to seek legal advice, while efforts continue to place State Question 836 on the ballot, which would allow all voters to participate in primaries. 2026年1月26日是该倡议的签署期限。 The signature deadline for the initiative is January 26, 2026.
