Oklahoma Regulations § 230:40-5-48 Two-election cycles for municipal officers in charter cities

⤴ Up to Part 9: Procedures

Regulation Text

If any home rule charter city has established a two-election cycle for the election and qualification of municipal officers, the requirements of 26 O.S., Section 13-101.1 shall apply to such elections conducted on the city's behalf by the County Election Board whether the elections are partisan or nonpartisan and regardless of any other designation, title, or definition given to such elections in the charter.
(1) The first election in a two-election cycle shall be defined as a "primary" election. In a primary election, all candidates who file for a specific office appear together on the ballot and either the candidate who receives a majority of the total votes cast for the office is deemed elected or, if no candidate receives a majority, the two candidates receiving the most votes advance to a required second election.
(2) The second, required election in a two-election cycle shall be defined as a "general" election. In a general election, the candidate who receives the most votes is elected to the office.
