Real Education Election Reform
By Jonathan Small, OCPA
Critics often note voter turnout in Oklahoma elections is lower than in most states, yet those critics seldom demand the reform that would do the most to boost election participation: moving more elections to the November ballot.
Oklahomans know when gubernatorial and presidential elections are scheduled, but many do not know when school-board elections occur. That’s by design.

Zutobi has released its 2026 Global Gas Prices Report, analyzing fuel costs across all U.S. states.

This combination of low prices and a significant year-over-year drop puts Oklahoma at the top nationally for fuel affordability.
