Oklahoma City-area voters head to the polls Aug. 25, with a packed ballot that includes a bitter Republican governor's race, two Oklahoma County Commission contests tied to the proposed $860 million jail, state legislative runoffs and two constitutional amendments.

Polls open at 7 a.m. and close at 7 p.m. Voters can look up their polling place and sample ballot at okvoterportal.okelections.gov. State law requires employers to allow workers up to two hours off to vote.

Governor: Drummond vs. Mazzei

Attorney General Gentner Drummond and former state Sen. Mike Mazzei are competing for the Republican nomination after each earned about 26 percent of the vote in the June primary. Drummond received slightly more total votes. The winner faces House Minority Leader Cyndi Munson and three independents on Nov. 3.

Mazzei has pledged to eliminate income taxes for all Oklahomans and property taxes for seniors and veterans. Drummond has emphasized improving schools and health care. Outside groups have poured millions into the race; the Make Oklahoma Great Again PAC alone spent $3.8 million on ads disparaging Mazzei, according to KGOU.

The Inola aluminum smelter has emerged as a flashpoint. Mazzei initially opposed tax incentives for the project but reversed course in May, hours before receiving President Donald Trump's endorsement, The Oklahoman reported. Drummond has tried to block the smelter through legal channels. Trump and Gov. Kevin Stitt have both endorsed Mazzei.

Only registered Republicans may vote in this race.

Oklahoma County Commission District 1

Incumbent Commissioner Jason Lowe faces challenger Kayla Baker in a Democratic primary runoff. No Republican filed, so the winner takes the seat.

District 1 covers part of Oklahoma City, Del City, Midwest City, Forest Park, Jones, Nicoma Park, Spencer and The Village.

Mark Faulk, who challenged Lowe in the June primary, said at the Aug. 12 commissioners meeting: "I think this will decimate Del City and damage Midwest City."

Oklahoma County Commission District 3

County Manager Jessica Clayton and Edmond businessman Alex Warren are in the Republican runoff. Clayton led the June primary with nearly 42 percent to Warren's 24 percent, News9 reported. The winner faces Democrat Jennifer Mayo in November.

District 3 covers Edmond, Deer Creek, Arcadia, Luther and parts of Oklahoma City. Warren is the brother of Oklahoma County Court Clerk Rick Warren.

State questions (all registered voters eligible)

SQ 844 would let the Legislature decide how to reimburse local governments that lose revenue from the statewide manufacturing tax exemption. That formula is currently locked in the state Constitution. Education leaders worry the change could mean less money for schools.

SQ 846 would enshrine a voter identification requirement in the state Constitution. Oklahoma already requires voter ID by statute; supporters say the amendment makes the requirement harder to repeal.
