俄克拉荷马州立法者大力推行与公开初选相冲突的措施,旨在改变选举时间表,要求举行政党初选。 Oklahoma lawmakers push measures that could clash with open primaries, aiming to shift election timelines and require party primaries.

俄克拉荷马州立法者提出众议院第1019号联合决议,要求各政党通过初选或决赛提名候选人,但无争议的种族除外,这引起了与选民通过的国家问题792的潜在冲突,后者寻求开放初选。 Oklahoma lawmakers advanced House Joint Resolution 1019, requiring political parties to nominate candidates via primaries or runoffs, except for unopposed races, raising potential conflict with voter-passed State Question 792, which seeks open primaries. 决议现在向前迈进,两项措施可能在同一轮投票中出现。 The resolution now moves forward, with both measures possibly appearing on the same ballot. 另外,议长凯尔·希尔伯特(Kyle Hilbert)提出的《第2425号众议院法案》旨在更早地改变俄克拉荷马州的选举时间表,将候选人提前到选举前的12月提出,并将初选与全国周期保持一致,以提高投票率。 Separately, House Bill 2425, introduced by Speaker Kyle Hilbert, aims to shift Oklahoma’s election timeline earlier, moving candidate filing to December before an election and aligning primaries with national cycles to boost turnout. 该法案以9比2的票数通过委员会，进入众议院全体会议，尽管批评者警告称，较早的截止日期可能有利于现任者，并因其“壳牌法案”的引入引发透明度担忧。 The bill passed a committee 9–2 and heads to the full House, though critics warn earlier deadlines could favor incumbents and raise transparency concerns due to its "shell bill" introduction.
