Judicial selection in Oklahoma

From Judgepedia

With the exception of District Court judges, all first term (Supreme Court, Court of Criminal Appeals, and Court of Appeals) judges in Oklahoma are appointed by the acting governor, who chooses justices based upon the recommendation and judicial vetting performed by a nominating commission. District Court judges take part in non-partisan elections.

Retention for Supreme Court, Court of Criminal Appeals, and Court of Appeals judges is based upon retention election outcomes, whereas District Court judges stand for an official re-election.
