Ballot placement drawings held

OKLAHOMA CITY – A public drawing was held last week 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 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 Indepen-dent candidates.

Two Independent presidential candidates qualify for ballot.

Also, 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.

Last week’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/2024presidential-generalelection. html. The General Election is November 5. The last day to register to vote for the General Election is October 11. More information about registering to vote is available on the State Election Board website at https:// oklahoma.gov/elections/ voter-registration/ register-to-vote.html.
