Counties and county officers; election; district attorney; county sheriffs; nonpartisan; effective date.

HB 2835 requires nonpartisan elections for both district attorneys and county sheriffs in Oklahoma. It mandates that candidates file and appear on ballots as independent candidates without party designations, eliminating primary elections for these offices. This directly affects voters and candidates in all Oklahoma counties for these specific elected positions. The bill takes effect November 1, 2025, changing how these officials are selected in future elections.
