The 2018 general election was held in the U.S. state of Oklahoma on November 6, 2018. All of Oklahoma's executive officers were up for election as well as the state's five seats in the United States House of Representatives, half of the 48 seats in the Oklahoma Senate, and all 101 seats in the Oklahoma House, and five offices in each of Oklahoma's 77 counties. Voter turnout was 42.5% of the eligible population, a 12.6% increase over the 2014 midterms, but still the third lowest in the nation.{{Cite web |url=https://www.nonprofitvote.org/documents/2019/03/america-goes-polls-2018.pdf/ |title=Archived copy |access-date=2019-03-18 |archive-date=2019-03-20 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190320222141/https://www.nonprofitvote.org/documents/2019/03/america-goes-polls-2018.pdf/ |url-status=dead }}
Due to Gary Johnson's results in the 2016 presidential election, the Oklahoma Libertarian Party had ballot status to run candidates in 2018.{{cite web|url=http://www.reddirtreport.com/election-central/libertarian-party-makes-historic-strides-oklahoma-us-elections|title=Libertarian Party makes historic strides in Oklahoma, U.S. elections|date=11 November 2016|website=reddirtreport.com|access-date=16 February 2017|archive-date=11 August 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170811005622/http://www.reddirtreport.com/election-central/libertarian-party-makes-historic-strides-oklahoma-us-elections|url-status=live}} This was the first time an alternative party has been able to participate in mid-term elections in the state since 1998. Five Independents, led in a loosely coordinated effort by former Oklahoma Democratic Party chair Ivan Holmes, were candidates for statewide executive offices.{{Cite web|url = https://newsok.com/article/5606704/state-office-independents-running-as-a-team-on-open-government|title = State office independents running as a team on open government|date = 2 September 2018|access-date = 21 December 2018|archive-date = 17 January 2019|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20190117134245/https://newsok.com/article/5606704/state-office-independents-running-as-a-team-on-open-government|url-status = live}}
The ballot order was determined by random drawing for placement of candidates by party. Results of the drawing on July 12 were that Libertarian candidates would be placed first, Republicans second, and Democrats third.{{Cite web|url=http://ballot-access.org/2018/07/15/oklahoma-ballot-order-lottery-puts-libertarian-party-on-top-line-in-november-2018-election/|title=Oklahoma Ballot Order Lottery puts Libertarian Party on Top Line in November 2018 Election | Ballot Access News|access-date=2018-07-18|archive-date=2018-07-18|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180718234511/http://ballot-access.org/2018/07/15/oklahoma-ballot-order-lottery-puts-libertarian-party-on-top-line-in-november-2018-election/|url-status=live}} By statute, Independents are always listed after partisan candidates.

State questions
State questions are ballot propositions to proposed either a legislative measure or an amendment to the Oklahoma Constitution. State questions are filed with the Oklahoma Secretary of State by either order of the legislature (termed a "legislative referendum") or directly by the people of Oklahoma (termed an "initiative petition").{{Cite web|last=|first=|date=|title=Outline of the Oklahoma Initiative and Referendum Petition Process|url=https://www.sos.ok.gov/gov/petition_process.aspx|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100528103708/https://www.sos.ok.gov/gov/petition_process.aspx |archive-date=2010-05-28 |access-date=2021-01-17|website=Oklahoma Secretary of State}} The secretary of state assigns a number to the state question and notifies the State Election Board of the propositions submission. The governor, by executive proclamation, sets the election date for submission of the state questions to the people.
