    Oklahomans head to the voting booth Tuesday to decide local and national races ranging from Oklahoma judicial retention to the next U.S. president.

    Oklahomans will next vote on select special proposals in January 2025.

    Catch up on The Oklahoman’s live coverage of Tuesday’s general election:

    Several Oklahoma judges face bipartisan votes to retain the election on November 5. But what attracted the most attention were the attempts to remove three justices from the Oklahoma Supreme Court.

    At 7 a.m., more than a dozen voters stood in line outside the First Baptist Church on NW 4th St. in Oklahoma City to be among the first people to vote in Oklahoma County on Election Day.

    Jess Hall, 41, a Democrat, hopes that enough of the party’s voters will be represented in the city.

    “I think I’m confident that Trump will win Oklahoma, but I’m very confident that we can at least turn Oklahoma County purple,” she said. “However, I believe Kamala will win nationally.”

    What issues are important to OKC voters on Election Day?

    OKC voters go to the polls on Election Day. We asked some at First Baptist Church what issues were most important to them and why they voted.

    Lashawn Jones, a 41-year-old school counselor and Oklahoma County resident, said education is an important issue that influences her vote.

    “I work at a school and I think education right now is not the best, not just in Oklahoma but everywhere,” Jones said. “It means a lot to me especially because I have a family full of educators, and that’s why I choose — most of the time — because it’s based entirely on education.”

    David Wilson Coffman, a former charter underwriter, said he would vote for the Republican candidates because he believes the party’s platforms offer the best solutions to the key issues that interest him, such as the Israel-Hamas war, immigration and inflation.

    He said: “We have four years of Trump. We have four years to see whether Harris and Biden win. And there’s a big contrast in what’s happening. I think there will be a big change if he wins.”

    8 a.m

    Oklahoma polls close statewide at 7 p.m. We should make a decision tonight in the state and local elections. This is because only Oklahoma residents’ early voting, daytime ballots, and mail-in ballots are counted in Oklahoma elections.

    However, for the presidential race, we may see a result later tonight, tomorrow, or even later.

    However, the earliest votes will take place shortly after polls open (Eastern Time). In Oklahoma, we should start seeing results from Indiana, Kentucky, Florida, Vermont, Virginia, South Carolina and Georgia starting around 5-6pm CT.

    By 7 p.m., when polls close in Oklahoma, 25 other states along the East Coast will also have closed their polls, but polls will still be open in 24 other states in the West.

    The AP will not call races until the last polls close in that state, meaning states like Kentucky and Indiana, which have separate time zones, may not be called until 6:00 p.m. CT, when the second half of the state Polling stations have closed.

    Although Oklahoma was expected to elect former President Donald Trump over Vice President Kamala Harris, several swing states could have an impact on today’s presidential election.

    The polls and odds are constantly changing, but you can find the most recent polls we could find for each candidate, as of November 5, 7:15 a.m.:

    • ABC News Project 538: The poll shows Harris with a 48.0% lead over Trump’s 46.8%. This was last updated on November 5th at 12:45 am.
    • 270towin: According to the latest polling data, Harris is leading Trump 48.4% to 47.2%.
    • Realclearpolling: Harris also wins a narrow victory in RCP polls by 0.1% to Trump’s 48.6%.

    As for who will win Oklahoma’s seven Electoral College votes, 270towin and Realclearpolling show that Donald Trump is very popular with Oklahoma voters.
