The 2022 election cycle will be the first election following redistricting. Redistricting in Oklahoma was postponed to a special legislative session, because of the 2020 United States census data's release being delayed.[2] New congressional districts were signed into law based on data from the 2020 United States census on November 22, 2021.[3]

In addition, Avery Frix and Dustin Roberts are members of the Choctaw Nation and Johnny Teehee is a member of the Cherokee Nation.[5]
