Polls Are Open For Oklahoma Primary

Polls are open for Oklahoma voters to cast

ballots in this year’s primary election.

The contest for Oklahoma’s only open seat in the U.S. House of

Representatives is drawing the most attention. Republicans hope to

take over the seat held by Democratic Congressman Dan Boren, who is

retiring.

Six Republicans and three Democrats are running for their

parties’ nominations in the 2nd Congressional District.

Elsewhere in the state, incumbents John Sullivan, Frank Lucas

and Tom Cole all face primary challengers from fellow Republicans.

There is no primary in the 5th District that includes Oklahoma

City.

The only statewide election on the ballot is a Republican

primary for a six-year term on the Oklahoma Corporation Commission.

Polls are open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday.
