(Oklahoma City) – A public drawing was held today by the Secretary of the State Election Board, Paul Ziriax, to determine the ballot order for political parties and Independent candidates for the November 5 General Election ballot. The drawing was held in accordance with state law at 9:30 a.m. at the State Capitol Building, Room G3, in Oklahoma City.

The results of the drawing and the order of political parties is as follows:

  • Libertarian Party
  • Republican Party
  • Democratic Party

Recognized political party candidates appear on the ballot in lot order. Independent candidates are placed on the ballot following the candidates of recognized political parties. If more than one Independent candidate files for a particular office, then a drawing is held to determine the ballot order of those Independent candidates.

Two Independent Presidential Candidates Qualify for Ballot

Also, today, Secretary Ziriax announced that two Independent presidential candidates have qualified for the General Election Ballot in Oklahoma. July 15 was the last day Independent candidates or candidates from unrecognized parties could file for the highest office in the nation.

Today’s drawing determined the ballot order of those Independent presidential candidates, which are as follows:

  • Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. (presidential candidate)
    Nicole Ann Shanahan (vice presidential candidate)
  • Chris Garrity (presidential candidate)
    Cody Ballard (vice presidential candidate)

Presidential candidate filing documents are available on the Oklahoma State Election Board website at https://oklahoma.gov/elections/candidates/2024-presidential-general-election.html.
