What Independents are saying…

  • "I've been an Independent voter for nearly 10 years because I feel like both major parties have lost their way. I want my voice to be heard, and I believe that having open primaries would result in higher turnout, better representation, and ultimately better policy that reflects the will of the people."

    Andy Moore
    Oklahoma City

  • "I'm a registered independent because a healthier democracy depends on better elections, and elected officials of all stripes should be accountable to all voters."

    Effie Rorke
    Oklahoma City

  • "Oklahoma’s closed primary system leaves registered Independents without a guaranteed path to participate in elections that matter most. We pay the same taxes and share the same the civic responsibilites as our party members. This reality is both frustrating and unacceptable in a state that values fairness and representation. It is time to open our primaries to all Oklahoma voters regardless of political affiliation!”

    Lise Inman
    Tulsa

  • "I’m registered Independent because I vote ideas, not party labels. In Oklahoma, primaries often decide our leaders, and too many voters are shut out. I back open primaries so every taxpayer can help choose who makes the ballot—rewarding practical solutions over party extremes."

    Danielle Ezell
    Oklahoma City
