Method, scope, and limitations

FactVote used the exact FY2027 agency-appropriation table and service categories in the Oklahoma Senate fiscal report for enacted SB 1177. FY2024 tax-source shares and audited activity come from the latest ACFR currently published by OMES. Current rate facts come from Oklahoma Tax Commission guidance and its 2025 legislative summary for the tax-year 2026 individual brackets.

The $12.329 billion headline is the enacted General Appropriations bill's FY2027 agency table, not the State's broader all-bills or all-funds budget. Prior-year supplementals, separate miscellaneous deposits and one-time items, and other appropriation acts are outside it.
Oklahoma's latest published ACFR is FY2024, so audited tax sources and activity predate the FY2027 appropriation figures and must not be read as the same-period funding plan.
The tax-source denominator contains taxes recognized by the State primary government; local ad valorem property taxes are outside it.
Sales-tax and property-tax burdens vary by locality, taxable item, exemptions, assessed value, and local levies.

Method and limitations

FactVote uses BLS Local Area Unemployment Statistics annual averages for the statewide unemployment rate and civilian employment. The chart converts employment to an index with 2015 equal to 100; the data table retains the published employment level.

LAUS estimates are revised each year through the program's annual processing cycle.
Employment is residence-based civilian employment, not a count of jobs located in the state.
Annual averages smooth within-year changes.

2025	353.66	170.4	$66,660	158.5

Method and limitations

FactVote averages the four quarterly, not-seasonally-adjusted FHFA all-transactions HPI observations for each year. It compares that series with BEA annual per-capita personal income distributed by FRED, then rebases both to 100 in 2016.

This is a pressure indicator, not a home-price-to-income ratio and not a measure of monthly mortgage affordability.
Both series are nominal; neither is adjusted for inflation.
Per-capita personal income includes earnings, property income, and transfers and is not median household income.

Method and limitations

FactVote uses the Census Bureau's HIC-4_ACS historical table. Rates and 90% confidence margins of error are the published ACS 1-year estimates for the civilian noninstitutionalized population.

The Census Bureau did not release the standard 2020 ACS 1-year estimates because pandemic-era data collection did not meet its quality standards; the chart preserves that gap.
The rate is a survey estimate and the accompanying margin of error should be considered when comparing nearby values.
Coverage is measured at the interview and does not show how long someone was uninsured during the year.

How it was measured

FactVote uses EIA’s Midwest series, the smallest current EIA retail region that includes Oklahoma. Changes are calculated from the published August 24, 2026 (prior week), and September 1, 2025 (52 weeks earlier), observations.

Keep in mind

EIA does not publish a current Oklahoma statewide weekly gasoline-price series. This Midwest regional estimate should not be read as Oklahoma’s statewide average.
The regional average combines Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee, and Wisconsin, and does not represent the price at every station or in every Oklahoma community.
Prices are nominal and not adjusted for inflation or seasonal patterns. Weekly estimates can be revised and can differ from monthly averages.
Price changes alone do not establish the effect of any bill, official, or government action.

Method and limitations

FactVote uses EIA's annual utility-scale net generation series and groups sources into seven categories. The residential price is EIA's annual average revenue per kilowatthour and includes generation, transmission, distribution, taxes, and fees reflected in electric bills.

Generation is electricity produced inside Oklahoma, not electricity consumed there; interstate imports and exports are not represented.
The consistent utility-scale series excludes estimated generation from small-scale solar systems under 1 megawatt. Hydroelectric combines conventional and pumped-storage net generation; the 'other' category is the residual of remaining reported energy sources.
The residential price is a statewide nominal average and can mask large differences among utilities, plans, and household usage.

Method and limitations

FactVote uses EIA’s monthly Midwest (PADD 2) Regular All Formulations Retail Gasoline Prices series. Monthly averages are simple averages of the published weekly estimates; prices include taxes.

This regional series covers Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee, and Wisconsin; it is not an Oklahoma statewide average.
The regional average masks differences among states, communities, and individual stations.
Prices are nominal and not adjusted for inflation or seasonal patterns. The monthly series ends in August 2026 and can differ from the weekly fact.
Price changes alone do not establish the effect of any bill, official, or government action.

The total combines firearm deaths across intents, including suicide, homicide, legal intervention, and unintentional or undetermined injury.
It does not measure nonfatal injuries, firearm ownership, defensive uses, or policy effects.

Method and limitations

FactVote uses the Census Bureau's Vintage 2025 consistent state series. Population is the July 1 estimate. Change components describe the preceding annual estimates period, and the Census residual adjustment reconciles the components to the published population change.

Vintage estimates are revised as the Census Bureau incorporates newer records and methods.
Domestic and international migration are modeled demographic estimates, not direct counts of every move.
The small residual adjustment is included in the data table but not drawn as a separate bar.

General election turnout: 64.42%
Primary election turnoutMarch 5, 2024 presidential preferential primary: 17.56% comparison rate

Oklahoma's current results system reports certified party-contest totals but does not publish one primary turnout percentage. The comparison divides 404,103 certified presidential-preference votes across the Democratic, Libertarian, and Republican contests by 2,301,188 registered voters reported on January 15, 2024.

The comparison excludes primary ballots on which the presidential contest was left blank or overvoted and uses all registered voters rather than party-specific eligible-voter denominators.
Independent voters could participate in the Democratic contest, while Republican and Libertarian contests were closed to their registered party members.

How it was measured

The Oklahoma State Election Board's official results system reports statewide general-election turnout as 64.42%.

Keep in mind

This is registered-voter turnout, not participation among every voting-eligible resident.
Turnout does not by itself measure election access, administration quality, confidence, or the effect of a specific rule.

How it was measured

Oklahoma State Department of Health annual surveillance under the Statistical Abortion Reporting Act, compiled from required reports submitted by facilities and physicians.

Keep in mind

The report states that abortion data may be incomplete and excludes abortions obtained by Oklahoma residents outside Oklahoma.
No terminations were reported to OSDH for 2025; zero reported does not establish that no Oklahoma resident obtained an abortion or measure the effect of a law or candidate position.

Facts are shown for context only and do not affect candidate matching or rankings. Dates, definitions, limitations, and primary sources are included with each figure.
