The primary election was held on July 27. The runoff primary election was held August 24.http://www.ok.gov/elections/documents/10calendar.pdf Oklahoma State Election Board Oklahoma Elections 2010 2010-11-09 The Republican Party swept every statewide election and expanded its majorities in both state legislative chambers. An extremely socially conservative state, Oklahoma has not voted Democratic in a presidential election since 1964 but remained reliably Democratic at the state level well into the 2000s. This election marked a new and decisive alignment in the state's partisanship at all levels of government, with the GOP continuing to make gains in almost every election since. Overview NOTES: Bob Anthony and Jeff Cloud were not on the 2010 ballot due to the staggered election terms of the Corporation Commission. With Todd Lamb's election to lieutenant governor, one Oklahoma Senate seat remains vacant, to be filled in a January 2011 special election.

Governor Brad Henry appointed fellow Democrat Steve Burrage to serve out the remainder of McMahan's unexpired term. Burrage then sought a full term in office but lost to Gary Jones, who was making his third run for the office. Despite losing by 11.8%, Burrage had the second best performance of any statewide Democrat and was only one of two to get over 40% of the vote (the other being Insurance Commissioner Kim Holland). Article 6, Section 19 of the Oklahoma Constitution places one additional requirement upon the State Auditor and Inspector beyond the other constitutional requirements for those seeking statewide offices. The auditor must have at least 3 years of prior experience as an "expert accountant" before seeking office. (The term "expert accountant" is not defined but is generally understood to require that the officeholder must be a certified public accountant.) Candidates Democrats Steve Burrage - incumbent State Auditor Republican David Hanigar - Pocasset certified public accountant and United States Navy submariner during Vietnam War Gary Jones - Lawton certified public accountant, former Comanche County commissioner and current chairman of the Oklahoma Republican Party Primary Burrage ran unopposed in the Democratic primary.

The proposed Constitutional amendment would have mandated that the Oklahoma Legislature spend no less than the average amount spent by "neighboring states" (those states which border Oklahoma: Missouri, Texas, Kansas, Arkansas, Colorado and New Mexico) on "common education" (defined as grades pre-kindergarten through high school) on an annual, per-student basis. If the surrounding-state average ever declined, the legislature would be required to spend the same amount as it did the year before. The measure required that increased spending begin in the first fiscal year after its passage and that the surrounding-state average be met in the third fiscal year after passage. The proposed amendment did not provide a funding source for the new spending requirements and was therefore overwhelmingly defeated.

No expiration date would be required on certain identity cards issued to person 65 years of age or older. In lieu of such a document, voters could present voter identification cards issued by the County Election Board. A person who cannot or does not present the required identification may sign a sworn statement and cast a provisional ballot. Swearing to a false statement would be a felony. If approved, the measure would become effective July 1, 2011.

State Question 747 695592 299789 300px|thumb|Question 747 results by county Yes: #47729E 70–80% #7D9CBB 60–70% #B6C8D9 50–60% SQ 748 State Question 748 would amend the Oklahoma Constitution by amending Article 5, Sections 11A and 11B. The measure would change how the districts of the Oklahoma Legislature are apportioned. Currently, the Apportionment Commission is responsible for setting district boundaries every ten years if the legislature itself fails to do so. The Apportionment Commission, as currently established, is composed of the attorney general, the state treasurer and the state superintendent of public instruction. The measure would change the commission's name to the Bipartisan Commission on Legislative Apportionment and would increase the number of members from three to seven. The president pro tempore of the Oklahoma Senate would appoint one Democrat and one Republican, the Speaker of the Oklahoma House of Representatives would appoint one Democrat and one Republican, and the governor of Oklahoma would appoint one Democrat and one Republican. The lieutenant governor of Oklahoma would chair the commission and would be a nonvoting member. It requires orders of apportionment to be signed by at least four members of the commission. State Question 748 567288 403733 300px|thumb|Question 748 results by county Yes: #7D9CBB 60–70% #B6C8D9 50–60% No: #DEDEBD 50–60% SQ 750 This measure would amend the Oklahoma Constitution by altering the initiative petitions and with referendum petitions process by changing the number of signatures required for such petitions. The following voter signature requirements would apply: 8% must sign to propose law 15% must sign to propose to change the State Constitution. 5% must sign to order a referendum. These percentages are based upon the State office receiving the most total votes at the last general election when the governor is on the ballot. The measure's basis does not use general elections with the president on the ballot. More votes are usually cast at presidential general elections. Thus, the measure would generally have a lowering effect on the number of required signatures. State Question 750 485703 478042 300px|thumb|Question 750 results by county Yes: #7D9CBB 60–70% #B6C8D9 50–60% No: #BCBC83 60–70% #DEDEBD 50–60% SQ 751 This measure would amend the Oklahoma Constitution by adding a new Article to the Constitution. That Article would deal with the State's official actions. It dictates the language to be used in taking official State actions must be the English language. However, it allows for Native American languages could also be used and, when Federal law so requires, other languages could also be used. The term "official actions" is not defined. The Oklahoma Legislature could pass laws determining the application of the language requirements. No lawsuit based on State law could be brought on the basis of a State agency's failure to use a language other than English nor could such a lawsuit be brought against political subdivisions of the State. State Question 751 740918 239904 300px|thumb|Question 751 results by county Yes: #28497C 80–90% #47729E 70–80% SQ 752 This measure would amend Section 3 of Article 7-B of the Oklahoma Constitution. The amendment adds two at-large members to the Oklahoma Judicial Nominating Commission. At-large members can come from any Oklahoma congressional district. The President Pro Tempore of the Oklahoma Senate would appoint one of the new at-large members and the Speaker of the Oklahoma House of Representatives would appoint the other. At-large members cannot be lawyers, can not have a lawyer in their immediate family. Nor can more than two at-large members be from the same political party. This would raise the total membership on the commission from 13 to 15.

Under the measure, the Constitution could not have required the Oklahoma Legislature to fund state functions based on: Predetermined constitutional formulas, How much other states spend on a function, How much any entity spends on a function. Under the measure, these limits on the Constitution's power to control appropriations would have applied even if: A later constitutional amendment changed the Constitution, or A constitutional amendment to the contrary was passed at the same time as this measure. The Question was in direct opposition toward State Question 744 which also appeared on the ballot.
