A special election was held in the U.S. state of Oklahoma on May 13, 2025, to elect a new member for District 8 in the Oklahoma Senate, representing portions of five counties in east-central Oklahoma. The election filled a vacancy caused by the resignation of Republican member Roger Thompson on November 1, 2024. A primary was scheduled for March 4, 2025. [1]
