Issues

Let’s be honest—there’s a whole bunch of stuff we’d like to see fixed in Oklahoma, but many of the most important issues facing Oklahomans today are the ones that deal with the very fabric of our democracy. This great nation has been the bulwark of democracy for more than 250 years, but over time it’s been battered, bruised, and in need of repair. Together, we can do just that.

The following reforms would restore dignity and respect to our democracy by ensuring that all eligible voters are able to vote safely, easily, and securely and that they are able to cast their ballot for the candidates of their choosing.

Fair electionsOpen primaries · End gerrymandering

Open primaries. Voter apathy and disengagement are a drain on our democracy. Current Oklahoma law allows the political parties to determine who gets to vote for their candidates in primary elections. Elections are paid for with all of our tax dollars, so why do private groups get to say who gets to vote? We believe every voter should be allowed to vote for whichever candidate they feel is most qualified for the position, regardless of the voter’s party affiliation (or lack thereof).
End gerrymandering. Every ten years there’s a national census, and the following year that data is used to redraw all the congressional, state legislative, and county and municipal electoral districts in a constitutionally required process called “redistricting.” Currently, Oklahoma law allows the state legislature to redraw the districts—the very districts in which they serve. That’s just asking for trouble, and often leads to gerrymandering, which is when the lines are drawn in a way that is politically advantageous for the incumbent. We believe that politicians shouldn’t be allowed to draw their own districts and, instead, redistricting should be done by a citizen-led independent commission.

Voter registrationAutomatic voter registration · Same-day voter registration

Automatic voter registration. Registering to vote shouldn’t be hard. In fact, it could be done automatically. Eligible voters should be automatically registered to vote when they turn 18 years old and/or renew their driver’s license. It shouldn’t require an additional form that you have to manually fill out and mail in.
Same-day voter registration. If, by some chance, an eligible voter isn’t registered at the time of an election—like if they just recently moved to the area—we believe they should be allowed to register right there, on the spot. They should be allowed to register with the local polling official, then cast a provisional ballot and march on home, full of patriotic pride knowing that they did their civic duty.

More accessible votingExpanded early voting days/times · Elimination of straight-party voting · Universal vote by mail

Expanded early voting days/times. Compared to most other states, Oklahoma has very limited opportunities and locations for early voting. We believe early voting should be expanded to at least one full week prior to Election Day so that every Oklahoman has adequate opportunity to cast their ballot.
Elimination of straight-party voting. To some, straight-party voting can be confusing. To others, it can be unfair. We believe that both are probably true, and moreover, voters should be required to color in the box for each candidate individually. They ran a hard race; they deserve our effort.
Universal vote by mail. As of 2026, voters in nine states automatically receive their ballot in the mail, often accompanied by a booklet containing information about candidates, ballot questions, and other election-related information. Oklahoma already allows all voters to vote by mail if they request a ballot. We believe the state government should be more proactive about voter engagement and send ballots out to all registered voters. Our election administration system has a long and well-documented history of extreme election security, including mail ballots.

Accountable and transparent governmentReform the initiative petition process · Subject the legislature to the Open Records Act · Allow public comment on legislation

Reform the initiative petition process. The Oklahoma Constitution’s Bill of Rights (Article II, Section 3) guarantees citizens the right to petition the government. However, Oklahoma’s initiative petition process has been made so complicated and restrictive by the politicians that even well-supported campaigns find it impossible to qualify. We believe the initiative petition should be reformed to give voters more time to collect signatures and require the state to take action in reasonable timelines.
Subject the legislature to the Open Records Act. Did you know that virtually every state agency and publicly funded organization is subject to the Open Records Act except the state legislature? That’s right—when the law was passed, they exempted themselves. They’re paid with our tax dollars and they decide where our tax dollars go—but they get to do it all in secret. We believe the law should be amended so that all state entities—including the legislature—must comply.
Allow public comment on legislation. Multiple states have implemented systems that allow members of the public to submit comments on pending legislation, and those comments become part of the permanent record. While Oklahoma voters may contact the legislature to voice their opinion, those comments are not part of the public record.

Our history

In early 2016, Oklahoma was facing a $1.2 billion budget shortfall, and suddenly people who hadn’t been paying attention to state politics began tuning in. Oklahoma City resident Andy Moore invited a few friends to go to the State Capitol to talk to legislators about the situation and urge them to action. He called the event “Let’s Fix This: A Day at the Capitol for Regular Folks.” More than 100 people attended that first event, and it was soon followed by more advocacy events bringing in more participants. People, it seemed, were eager to get involved if someone took the time to explain how to do it.

Let's Fix This is now a nonpartisan 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that is dedicated to educating Oklahomans on the laws, policies, and other political issues that affect them the most and creating opportunities for the public to interact with their elected officials in meaningful ways.

We’re just regular folks who care about our state and our communities and who believe that we deserve better. We take complicated political issues and present them in an easy-to-understand format. We want you to vote, to know who and what you're voting for, and to actually talk to your elected officials about the issues that are important to you. We want to encourage our lawmakers to reach across the aisle and work together toward responsible, common-sense solutions that benefit all Oklahomans.
