How “per election” works
The Ethics chart states contribution limits are election-specific and reset after each election only if the candidate’s name will appear on another ballot during the cycle. Contributors may not allocate one check across multiple elections.
Federal races
Federal candidate contribution limits are set by the Federal Election Commission, not the Oklahoma Ethics chart above.
Not covered here: the full PAC-to-PAC matrix, cash and anonymous contribution caps, and tribal contribution rules. See the Oklahoma Ethics Commission’s official chart and guides for those.
