## About the chamber[edit]

Members of the Oklahoma House of Representatives serve two-year terms with term limits.[1] Representatives may not serve more than 12 consecutive years between both chambers of the Oklahoma State Legislature. Oklahoma legislators assume office 15 days following the general election.[2][3]

### Qualifications[edit]

See also: State legislature candidate requirements by state

Article 5, Section 17 of the Oklahoma Constitution states: "Members of the Senate shall be at least twenty-five years of age, and members of the House of Representatives twenty-one years of age at the time of their election. They shall be qualified electors in their respective counties or districts and shall reside in their respective counties or districts during their term of office."

### Salaries[edit]

Salary| Per diem
$47,500/year| $165/day. Tied to federal rate. Unvouchered.

### Term limits[edit]

See also: State legislatures with term limits

The Oklahoma legislature is one of 15 state legislatures with term limits. Voters enacted the Oklahoma Term Limits Act in 1990. That initiative limits Oklahoma state legislators to no more than twelve years in the Oklahoma State Legislature. These 12 years can be served in any combination of the Oklahoma State Senate and the Oklahoma House of Representatives.[4]

The first year that the term limits enacted in 1990 impacted the ability of incumbents to run for office was in 2004.

### Vacancies[edit]

See also: How vacancies are filled in state legislatures

If there is a vacancy in the Oklahoma State Legislature, the governor must call a special election no later than 30 days after the vacancy occurs. No special election can be called if the vacancy occurs in an even-numbered year and if the term of office will expire in that year. This second provision allows special elections to be held for outgoing senators with two or more years left in their terms.[5]

If a senator announces his or her resignation before March 1st but the effective date lies between the general election and the new session, a special election can be held on the general election dates. The winner of this election will take office upon the senator's official resignation. This only applies to senators with two or more years remaining in their terms.[6]

Oklahoma's special election process was modified in 2012 by Senate Bill 91. The bill was intended to avert a special election for Al McAffrey's (D) vacated seat. McAffrey resigned in February of an election year. The text above reflects the modification approved in SB 91.[7]

## Redistricting[edit]

### 2020-2022[edit]

See also: Redistricting in Oklahoma after the 2020 census

Gov. Kevin Stitt (R) signed new legislative maps into law on November 22, 2021.[8] The Senate approved the Senate map in a 46-1 vote on November 17, 2021, and the House approved the Senate map 95-1 on November 19, 2021.[9] The House approved the House map 88-3 on November 17, 2021, and the Senate approved the House map 44-2 on November 19, 2021.[10]These maps take effect for Oklahoma's 2022 legislative elections.

How does redistricting in Oklahoma work? In Oklahoma, both congressional and state legislative district boundaries are drawn by the Oklahoma State Legislature. These lines may be vetoed by the governor.[11]

If the legislature is unable to approve a state legislative redistricting plan, a backup commission must draw the lines. The commission comprises the following seven members:[11]

1. The governor appoints one Republican and one Democrat.
2. The majority leader of the Oklahoma State Senate appoints one Republican and one Democrat.
3. The majority leader of the Oklahoma House of Representatives appoints one Republican and one Democrat.
4. The lieutenant governor serves as the non-voting chair of the commission.

The Oklahoma Constitution requires that state Senate district boundaries take into account "population, compactness, area, political units, historical precedents, economic and political interests, contiguous territory, and other major factors."[11]

The redistricting committee of the state House adopted redistricting guidelines similar to the senatorial district requirements described above. These guidelines apply to state House and congressional districts, as well. These guidelines may be amended by the state legislature at its discretion.[11]
