Oklahoma voters will elect state representatives in all 101 House districts. State Representatives serve two-year terms in the Oklahoma House of Representatives. The 2022 election cycle will be the first election following redistricting. Redistricting in Oklahoma has been postponed to a special legislative session, that will likely occur in late 2021, because of the 2020 United States census data's release being delayed till at least September 30.[2]
Republicans went into the 2022 election with a supermajority of seats in the state house over Democrats: 82 (R) to 19 (D).
