Oklahoma Senate
The Oklahoma Legislature is tasked with redistricting by the state and federal constitution following the federal decennial census. Due to population shifts within the state, this once every decade task is necessary to ensure equal representation will exist for equal numbers of people.
The redistricting process in the House is guided by the Rules and Guidelines adopted by the House Redistricting Committee, which will be considered and voted on at the first meeting of the House Redistricting Committee in the 2021 regular session. To review past Guidelines, see the Legal Summary section of the website.
For its redistricting efforts, the Oklahoma House of Representatives has established the House Redistricting Office. At the direction of the House Redistricting Committee and its eight regional subcommittees, the non-partisan staff of the House Redistricting Office will assist legislators in the drawing of new district boundaries for 101 new state House districts. All 101 House members serve on a regional subcommittee. The House will also submit proposed plans to redistrict the state’s congressional districts based on the number of congressional seats allocated to Oklahoma through the federal reapportionment process. Oklahoma currently has five congressional districts and is predicted to retain five seats. If successful, these new district boundaries will be used to conduct state congressional and legislative elections beginning in 2022 through 2030.
