Who are Oklahoma's deleted voters? State provides data breaking it down by party. [View all]

The most common reason that registrations were deleted is because the voter moved to a different county or state, according to Data Warehouse records.

The second-most common deletions were for inactive voters, a group that differs more noticeably from party affiliation lines. Others were removed because they have died, been convicted of a felony or were deemed in court to be mentally incapacitated, among other less-common reasons.

State records show 83,701 voter registrations were deleted for inactivity. Most of these Oklahomans haven’t voted since 2016 or before, data shows.

Just under half of deleted inactive voters were from the same four counties: Oklahoma, Tulsa, Cleveland and Canadian, the only four counties in the state with 100,000 or more registered voters. About 55% of inactivity deletions came from less populous counties, according to a review of Election Warehouse data.

Democrats and independents made up a larger share of deleted inactive voters than their proportion of Oklahoma voters overall. While Democrats represent about 27.5% of registered voters in the state, they made up 34% of registrations deleted for inactivity.
