An election for Seat 5 on the Deer Creek Public Schools Board of Education in Oklahoma was scheduled for April 7, 2020. A primary would have taken place on February 11, 2020, but it and the general election were both canceled because only one candidate, Lorrie Bamford, qualified for the ballot. Bamford won the position by default when the election was canceled.[1] Candidates wishing to run in this election were required to file by December 4, 2019.
