Oklahoma State Board of Elections
- not an up-to-date site, couldn't find any info regarding Presidential candidates, how to get on the ballot, etc
- may have some luck calling your local election board or emailing info@elections.ok.gov
- In "closed" primary states, voters are required to "affiliate" with a political party when they register to vote & are then allowed to vote only for candidates from their registered political party.

Missouri State Board of Elections
- awesome site! tons of info, well organized
- Missouri has what is known as an "open"; primary. In an open primary, voters may take a ballot for any party & vote for those candidates. Missouri does not require voters to "affiliate" with any political party when they register.

Pennsylvania State Board of Elections
- ok site, info pertains more to local govt than federal
- may have some luck calling or emailing BCEL
- great voter guide
- If you want to be able to vote in a party’s primary election, you must register with that party.

I found conflicting Republican Presidential Primary dates, in particular for PA, so be sure to find this out from your state or local election board - you don't want to miss it!

Under RNC by-laws, states have until September 4th, 2007 to finalize their processes and dates for the primaries, etc.
