OK Ethics Commission's new campaign finance reporting system rollout pushed back to September

The Oklahoma Ethics Commission's electronic reporting system, The Guardian, is a key tool for citizen scrutiny of Oklahoma's elections and elected officials. Campaign finance reports, lobbyist registration and spending, certain elected official disclosures, all of that is found in the Guardian system, which is set to be overhauled and replaced later this year:


News about Guardian 2.0

Oklahoma City (June 26th) - The Oklahoma Ethics Commission announces today that the launch of Guardian 2.0, the state’s next-generation campaign finance and public reporting system, has been rescheduled for early September 2025. The timeline shift allows for final data conversion and system readiness following a fast-paced six-month development effort.

The current Guardian system will remain fully operational through August, ensuring uninterrupted service for filers, public users, and agency staff. Final testing and data migration will continue throughout the summer, with training opportunities to be announced in the coming weeks.

“We are taking the time necessary to ensure a smooth and secure transition to Guardian 2.0,” said Executive Director Lee Anne Bruce Boone. “This new system will enhance transparency, improve user experience, and better support the campaign finance process moving forward.”
