2022 Election coverage plan |
The evening of Tuesday, Nov. 8, the tally begins to determine the results of the midterm elections. In the balance hangs all seats in the House of Representatives, as well as 35 U.S. Senate seats, and governor's offices in 36 states. Oklahoma's statewide and federal offices are in the mix, as well as state legislative, district judges and D.A.'s, and local initiatives.
KGOU will broadcast NPR's special coverage of the vote counting across the nation, and will cut in to report on Oklahoma races periodically throughout the evening. Live coverage begins at 7 p.m. on the air and streaming online. We'll also have coverage on our website, KGOU.org, with running tallies in the Congressional and gubernatorial races. In preparation for casting your vote, check out our Oklahoma voter guide:
