Primaries Matter: 2026 Primary Voter Guide & Turnout Strategies

Oklahoma is a bedrock of conservative values—and the road to keeping it that way runs straight through the June 16 Primary and, if necessary, the August 25 Runoff. In a deeply red county, the Republican primary is the election that matters most. Low turnout in primaries has handed nominations to less-than-principled candidates in the past. This year we cannot afford that. Strong, conservative nominees in June almost always become our officeholders in November.

The Tulsa County GOP has laid out everything you need on their 2026 Elections page. Here’s your complete Primary Voter Guide, turnout plan, and call-to-action playbook so we send the strongest possible conservative team to represent us in county offices, the State House, the U.S. House (District 1), District Attorney, and more.

Your 2026 Voter Guide

Head straight to the official Tulsa County GOP 2026 Elections page (tulsacountygop.org/2026-elections) for the full roster of Republican candidates running for Tulsa County offices, statewide positions, Judicial races and Ballot Measures.

The site highlights principled conservatives who will defend our values on taxes, education, public safety, and limited government. You’ll also find the party’s clear stance against State Question 832—the $15 minimum wage initiative on the June ballot that would hurt small businesses, raise costs for families, and eliminate longstanding exemptions. A “No” vote on SQ 832 is the conservative position.

Pro tip: Use the Oklahoma Voter Portal (oklahoma.gov/elections) to view your sample ballot, confirm your polling place, and request an absentee ballot. Cross-reference the GOP’s candidate information so you walk into the voting booth fully prepared.
