HB 2835 requires that elections for district attorneys and county sheriffs in Oklahoma be nonpartisan, meaning candidates must run as independent without party labels and primary elections will not be held. This change directly affects voters in all county and district attorney election districts and the candidates seeking these offices. The law mandates that all candidates appear on ballots solely as independents, eliminating partisan designations in these races. It will take effect on November 1, 2025.
