Oklahomans will cast their ballots Tuesday to select presidential nominees for the Republican, Democratic and Libertarian parties.

Oklahoma participates in Super Tuesday, where political parties in more than a dozen states will select their preferred nominee.

As a winner-take-all state, all of Oklahoma's partisan delegates will be allocated to the winners. President Joe Biden is the clear front-runner to secure the Democratic nomination, while former President Donald Trump enjoys a comfortable lead over former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley in the assignment of delegates.

Every registered voter in Oklahoma will be allowed to cast a ballot, with restrictions.

GOP and Libertarian ballots will only be received by members of those parties. The Oklahoma Democratic Party allows unaffiliated, or independent, voters the right to cast a ballot for their candidates.

Norman voters also will have a second chance to approve a franchise agreement between the city and electricity utility Oklahoma Gas and Electric Co.

Local questions up for a vote: Noman OG&E, Canadian County brunch liquor sales, Logan County sales tax

Voters living in Norman will also be deciding whether to approve a franchise agreement between the city and electric utility provider OG&E. The ordinance would give OG&E the exclusive right to construct, maintain and operate electric infrastructure within city limits for the next 25 years.

This will be the second time that the city of Norman has asked voters to approve the long-term agreement. The earlier vote on a nearly identical ordinance took place in January 2023, but less than 40% supported the franchise agreement at that time.

The last franchise agreement expired in 2018, but OG&E has continued providing service for Norman residents under a month-to-month agreement.

Canadian County residents will be voting on whether to let restaurants sell alcohol during Sunday brunch. Under current law, customers dining on Sundays have to wait until 2 p.m. to order liquor-by-the-drink.

In Logan County, three proposals on the ballot would extend the current sales tax for another 15 years. Combined, the three-fourths of a penny sales tax goes to fund roads and bridges, the county jail and local fire departments.
