The Oklahoma Attorney General election took place on November 4, 2014. Incumbent Scott Pruitt (R) was first elected in 2010 and was running for re-election.[1] Pruitt was unopposed in the primary and faced no opposition in the general election. Pruitt won another four-year term in 2014.
A primary election is an election in which registered voters select a candidate that they believe should be a political party's candidate for elected office to run in the general election. They are also used to choose convention delegates and party leaders. Primaries are state-level and local-level elections that take place prior to a general election. In Oklahoma, the Republican Party conducts a closed primary, in which only registered party members may participate. The Democratic Party holds a semi-closed primary, in which unaffiliated voters may participate.[2]
