Oklahoma
Grade: B
With a Ballot Tax for Independent Congressional candidates of $1,000.00, there is work to do.
WE NEED YOUR HELP TO REMOVE THESE BARRIERS.
Real reform only happens when voters speak up and demand fair access to the ballot. There are two simple ways you can help move this effort forward. First, contact your state representatives using the tools below and let them know you support ballot access reform. Second, fill out our Get Involved form so we can keep you informed about legislation, advocacy opportunities, and ways you can continue helping open the ballot in Ohio.

WHAT WE'RE DOING ABOUT IT
REASON FOR THE GRADE
• Candidate access: $1,000 filing fee; petition optional; no signatures needed if paying fee
• Party access: Party formation requires 34,599 signatures (3% of last gubernatorial vote); file by March 1 of even year
• Bottom line: Candidate access is manageable, but party formation is expensive and deadline-heavy.
