Thanks to Richard Winger of Ballot Access News for this post.
On April 28, 2016, Oklahoma Legislature passed SB 896, sponsored by: Rep. Jason Murphey [R] and Sen. Kyle Loveless [R]. It eases the percent of votes needed to stay as a qualified party.
Previously, a party needed 10% for the office at the top of a ticket, President or Governor.
SB 896 lowers it to 2.5%.
The effective date is November 1, 2016.
If Gov. Mary Fallin signs the bill, the only states with a 10% vote test will be New Jersey and Virginia. Alabama is 20% and Pennsylvania is registration of 15%.
All other states are at or below 5%.
The average for the 50 states is 2%.
