ISSUE ADVOCACY
Any entity may engage in issue advocacy. Issue advocacy is not subject to registration or reporting requirements under the Ethics Rules.
However, what otherwise may be issue advocacy becomes an electioneering communication if (1) it refers to a clearly identified candidate for state office, (2) it is made within 60 days of a general election or 30 days of a primary election, (3) is targeted to the relevant electorate and (4) does not explicitly advocate the election or defeat of any candidate. “Relevant electorate” means 25,000 or more persons in the State of Oklahoma in the case of a candidate for statewide office, 2,500 or more persons in the district the candidate seeks to represent in the case of a candidate for the Oklahoma State House of Representatives or judge of the District Court and 5,000 or more persons in the district the candidate seeks to represent in the case of all other elective offices.
