The 2022 United States House of Representatives elections in Oklahoma will be held on November 8, 2022, to elect the five U.S. Representatives from the state of Oklahoma, one from each of the state's five congressional districts.[1] The primary elections for the Republican. Democratic, and Libertarian parties' nominations will take place on June 28, 2022.[1] All candidates must file between the days of April 13–15, 2022.[1]
The 2022 election cycle will be the first election following redistricting. Redistricting in Oklahoma was postponed to a special legislative session, because of the 2020 United States census data's release being delayed.[2] New congressional districts were signed into law based on data from the 2020 United States census on November 22, 2021.[3]
