The Oklahoma Legislature is tasked with redrawing state legislative and congressional district lines every 10 years, following the federal decennial census. Oklahoma has 101 House District, 48 Senate Districts and is expected to retain 5 congressional seats following federal reapportionment. Due to population shifts within the state, this once-every-decade task is necessary to ensure equal representation will exist for equal numbers of people. The new district boundaries will be used to conduct state congressional and legislative elections beginning in 2022 through 2030.

The House redistricting process is led by the House State and Federal Redistricting Committee and its eight regional subcommittees. All 101 House members serve on a regional subcommittee based on county boundaries.

The Oklahoma House of Representatives believe the citizenry should have a voice in the redistricting process. Throughout December 2020 and January 2021, the redistricting committees held a series of town halls throughout the state to encourage public input in the redistricting process. In collaboration with the Oklahoma Senate, there were 20 meetings hosted by staff and lawmakers, 18 in person, two virtual.

While there no additional town hall meetings scheduled at this time, all Oklahomans are encouraged to stayed engaged in the redistricting process by contacting their state representative or contacting the House Redistricting Office.
