Governor Kevin Stitt on Monday signed all six of the redistricting bills passed out of last week’s special session. They set the boundaries for the Oklahoma House, Oklahoma Senate and Congressional districts for the next ten years, as well as, adjust some requirements and dates due to the late arrival of Census data.
“I am grateful to members of the Oklahoma Legislature who carried out their constitutional responsibility and redrawing these district maps,” said Stitt. “Following an open and transparent process that included public input, these maps were passed with majority support in both the House and the Senate and I am pleased to execute the will of Oklahomans by signing these new maps into law.”
Senate Bill 1x creates the new Senate districts, House Bill 1001 sets the House districts and House Bill 1002 sets the boundaries for the five congressional districts. The other three bills deal with residency requirements, how elections will be handled after April 5, 2022, and party registration requirements to run for office.
