OK Voter Portal: check registration, polling place, and sample ballot

Sample ballots are also posted outside every precinct polling place on Election Day.

About candidate websites: this page does not link individual campaign sites, because they could not be verified equally for every candidate in every race, and a partial list would favor some candidates over others. For candidate answers and information, see the nonpartisan Vote411 voter guide from the League of Women Voters and the State Election Board.

No City of Norman races or measures appear on the November 3, 2026 ballot.

Two state questions qualified for the November 3, 2026 ballot. All registered voters are eligible to vote on them. Both are legislative referendums that would amend the Oklahoma Constitution if approved by a simple majority. The full ballot title for each is quoted below, with a link to the official full text.

State Question 845, Legislative Referendum 379: Judicial Nominating Commission

What it would do: change the structure, appointment, terms, and eligibility rules of the Judicial Nominating Commission.

This measure amends article 7-B, section 3 of the Oklahoma Constitution, changing the Judicial Nominating Commission's structure. Currently appointments are based on congressional districts as constituted in 1967. If approved, appointments to the fifteen-member Commission will be as follows: 1) Governor appoints six members, including one from each congressional district as of the time of their appointment; 2) the Oklahoma Bar Association appoints six members, including one from each congressional district as of the date of selection; and 3) no less than eight members select three at-large members. The measure will permit any number of the commissioners to be licensed attorneys in Oklahoma or another state. The prohibition against immediate family members from practicing law will be removed. The measure changes terms so that at-large commissioners would serve a two-year term, and all other commissioners would serve a six-year term. Additionally, it removes restrictions on political party membership for members appointed by the Governor and at-large members. The measure also permits a commissioner to succeed himself or herself. Vacancies will be filled in the same manner as a commissioner is appointed or selected for the remainder of the relevant term. This measure will not have a fiscal impact. Shall the proposal be approved? For the proposal – YES / Against the proposal – NO

State Question 847, Legislative Referendum 381: Real Property Valuation

What it would do: lower the annual caps on growth in the fair cash value of real property and replace the senior homestead valuation freeze with an income-based sliding scale of annual limits.

This measure amends article 10, sections 8B and 8C of the Oklahoma Constitution. Currently, section 8B limits annual growth in fair cash value to 5% for most real property or 3% for homesteads and agricultural land. If approved, the measure would limit annual growth in fair cash value for tax year 2027 and after to 4% for most real property or 1.75% for homesteads and agricultural land. Currently, section 8C prohibits any increase in fair cash value of homestead property for persons age sixty-five (65) or older whose income does not exceed certain limits, sometimes referred to as the 'senior freeze.' Instead of prohibiting any increase in fair cash value for these homesteads, there would be an annual limit of 1.75%. The measure eliminates the income cap on gross household income to qualify for the senior freeze. If approved, the annual limit on an increase in fair cash value would be tied to how much gross household income the homestead owner had in the preceding year. If a homeowner's gross household income from the previous year was at or below the median income for their county or area (as determined by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's estimated median income amount for the county or metropolitan statistical area), a homeowner's homestead fair cash value cannot be increased. If the income amount was in excess of certain thresholds, the limit on increases in fair cash value for homesteads owned by persons age 65 or older could be 0.35% (income over 100% up to 120%); 0.7% (income over 120% up to 140%); 1.05% (income over 140% up to 160%); 1.4% (income over 160% up to 180%); or 1.75% (income over 180%). If passed, this measure would have a fiscal impact on the state, but the exact impact is unknown. Shall the proposal be approved? For the proposal – YES / Against the proposal – NO
