GOP Voter Registrations Continue Surge

Election Board Secretary Paul Ziriax today released the latest voter registration numbers and they show continued growth among Republicans.

Each January 15, the State Election Board records official voter registration statistics in Oklahoma. According to the latest official voter registration statistics Democrats continue to be the largest political party in the state, but the number of registered Republicans and Independents surged during the past year.

As of January 15, 2011, there were 2,090,130 registered voters in Oklahoma:
§ Democrat: 999,943 – 47.8% (88 more than Jan. 15, 2010)
§ Republican: 849,332 – 40.6% (36,174 more than Jan. 15, 2010)
§ Independent: 240,855 – 11.5% (15,248 more Jan. 15, 2010)

Ten years ago, in 2001, Democrats outnumbered Republicans 55% to 35.8%, and Independents were just more than 9% of registered voters.
