The above recommendations do not cover all 2024 elections locally and throughout Oklahoma. DO YOUR HOMEWORK. If you are voting on candidates, judges, or other issues not shown above, it is highly recommended that you look at the platforms of the party to which the competing candidates belong to find the one that most closely reflects biblical values and a Christian worldview. If it is a judge that is seeking office or asking to be retained in that office, research their original party affiliations, their judicial records, and such other information as may be available. Then as a general rule, vote for the political candidate, judicial candidate, or issue that most closely aligns with biblical values and a Christian worldview.
