Kanye West to appear on Oklahoma presidential election ballot

Kanye West has taken a significant step towards running for the United States presidency.

 

The 43-year-old rapper has qualified to be on the presidential ballot in the state of Oklahoma after meeting the necessary requirements before the filing deadline.

 

The Oklahoma State Election Board tweeted confirmation of West’s qualification for the general election ballot in the state as an independent presidential candidate.

 

“Independent presidential candidate Kanye West has qualified for the General Election ballot in Oklahoma. (Today is Oklahoma’s deadline for Independent & Unrecognized Party presidential candidates to file statements of candidacy with their petitions or filing fee.).”

 

 

 

An official representative for West completed the essential paperwork and paid the $35,000 filing fee before the state’s Nov. 3 presidential ballot deadline, as confirmed by Oklahoma Board of Elections spokeswoman Misha Mohr.

 

According to Mohr, West was one of three independent presidential candidates who paid the filing fee ahead of the deadline. The other two candidates were concert pianist Jade Simmons and cryptocurrency entrepreneur Brock Pierce.

 

This development follows TMZ’s report that West had submitted the initial form required by the Federal Election Commission to run for president on July 15, declaring his candidacy with his party BDY, representing the Birthday Party.

 

However, concerns remain about West’s 2020 presidential bid as he has missed the deadline to qualify for the ballot in several states.
