The 2014 U.S. House of Representatives elections in Oklahoma took place on November 4, 2014. Voters elected five candidates to serve in the U.S. House, one from each of the state's five congressional districts. Heading into the election, all of Oklahoma's House seats were held by the Republican Party, and the party maintained control of all five seats in the 2014 general election as well. All five races were rated "Safe Republican" contests by Rothenberg Political Report/Roll Call.[1]
| Candidate Filing Deadline | Primary Election | General Election |
|---|---|---|
Primary: A primary election is an election in which registered voters select a candidate that they believe should be a political party's candidate for elected office to run in the general election. They are also used to choose convention delegates and party leaders. Primaries are state-level and local-level elections that take place prior to a general election. In Oklahoma, the Republican Party conducts a closed primary, in which only registered party members may participate. The Democratic Party holds a semi-closed primary, in which unaffiliated voters may participate.[2]
For information about which offices are nominated via primary election, see this article.
Voter registration: To vote in the primary, voters had to register by May 30, 2014. For the general election, the voter registration deadline was October 10, 2014 (25 days prior to the election).[3]
