Abstract

This paper examines the consequences of term limits on competition in primary and general elections for the Oklahoma House of Representatives. Term limits appear to have had little effect on competition. In fact, term limits may have a negative effect on competition in primary and general elections. Increased competition may only occur when incumbents are prohibited from seeking reelection.
