A special election is scheduled to be 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 will fill a vacancy caused by the resignation of Republican member Roger Thompson on November 1, 2024. A primary is scheduled for March 4, 2025, with a runoff primary election if necessary on April 1, 2025.

## Background

District 8 was represented by Republican senator Roger Thompson from 2014 to 2024. Thompson went unopposed in the general election in 2022. The last contested general election in District 8 was in 2018, which saw Thompson win 58.7 percent of the vote against a Democrat and an independent candidate.
As of February 25, 2025, Republicans have a heavy party affiliation advantage in Senate District 8, with 26,984 registered Republicans comprising 52.4 percent of the district's 51,491 registered voters. Only 15,933 voters, or 30.9 percent, are registered Democrats.
