The 2022 election cycle will be the first election following redistricting. Redistricting in Oklahoma was postponed to a special legislative session, because of the 2020 United States census data's release being delayed.[2] New state senate districts were signed into law based on data from the 2020 United States census on November 22, 2021.[3]
