(Oklahoma City-AP) -- Want to be on the presidential ballot in Oklahoma? State Election Board Secretary Lance Ward says those seeking the Democratic or Republican presidential nominations can file at the state Election Board at the Capitol between 8 a-m and 5 p-m Monday through Wednesday.

The state's presidential primary will be March 14th. Only candidates in the Democratic or Republican can be on the presidential primary ballot because their parties are the only ones officially recognized in Oklahoma.
