<[link removed]>Hi John --

BREAKING: The campaign to bring top two open primaries to the voters of Oklahoma took a big step forward this week! 

Two major wins in court <[link removed]> for the Yes on 836 campaign <[link removed]> working to let all voters vote in the Sooner State with an initiative petition on the 2026 ballot: 

- A unanimous decision of the Oklahoma Supreme Court has rejected a constitutional challenge to State Question 836 and declared it can be circulated for signatures. Campaign leaders expect the signature gathering period to begin next month.
- The same court halted implementation of a new law passed by the state legislature that adds draconian restrictions on the state’s ballot initiative process as it pertains to State Question 836. Since the campaign had filed their initiative under previously existing state law on the subject the Court found against any retroactive application. 

Both rulings mean one thing: Oklahoma is ground zero for open primaries on the 2026 ballot. 

Major kudos to Campaign Leader Margaret Kobos for her leadership and persistence. 

Yes on 836 is a campaign by and for Oklahomans. Open Primaries has been a staunch partner of the campaign from its inception and it’s a prime example of what’s possible when you invest in local leadership and foster an environment where real campaigns can emerge. 

Oklahoma is just one example of the local campaigns across the country that we’re working with and investing in. We build coalitions and engage voters. When that work evolves into a campaign, we’re right there every step of the way to support local leaders and help them win. 

That’s what distinguishes Open Primaries, and demand for our work is accelerating rapidly.

We hope you’ll give us serious consideration and give towards our current fundraising campaign. We’re just over $90,000 away from hitting our goal of raising $250,000. Every dollar expands our capacity to push forward.
