See statutes: Title 26, Chapter 5 of the Oklahoma Code

Filing

Each candidate must file a declaration of candidacy with the Oklahoma State Election Board to place his or her name on the ballot. The declaration must be filed during the candidate filing period, which begins on the second Wednesday in April and ends on the following Friday. The declaration of candidacy must be signed and notarized and include the following:[2][3][4][5]

the name of the candidate
the candidate’s address
the office the candidate seeks
the candidate’s date of birth
the candidate’s political party affiliation
the precinct and county where the candidate is a registered voter
a sworn oath affirming that the candidate is qualified to become a candidate for the office being sought and to hold that office if elected

A partisan candidate must be a registered voter of the political party with which he or she wishes to run for at least six months immediately preceding the first day of the candidate filing period. An independent candidate must be registered as an independent voter for at least six months before filing as a candidate. A candidate of a new political party that has not been officially recognized for six months must be registered with that party within 15 days following its recognition.[6]

A candidate may file for only one office per election. There is no process for candidates to run as write-ins as write-in voting is not permitted in Oklahoma.[7][8]

Fees

Each candidate must pay a filing fee to the Oklahoma State Election Board or else file a petition signed by 4 percent of registered voters who will be eligible to vote for the candidate in the election (this figure is determined by using the latest January 15 voter registration report).[9]

Filing fees vary according to the office being sought by the candidate and are described in the table below.[9]

Challenges

Any candidate may challenge another candidate’s candidacy by filing a written petition of contest with the Oklahoma State Election Board. If there is only one candidate running for office, any registered voter who is eligible to vote for that candidate may file a contesting petition. This must be done by 5 p.m. on the second business day after the close of the candidate filing period. The contesting petition must be accompanied by a deposit of $250, which will be returned to the challenger if he or she successfully proves that the candidate does not fulfill all requirements to be a candidate for that office.[10][11][12][13]
