The Oklahoma Open Records Act requires public bodies to respond to requests for documents or information. Such requests can be made by any citizen, not just journalists. The act has exemptions. Some Oklahoma state agencies have direct links on their websites. All Oklahoma state agencies are required to have a designated individual handling open records.
But do us a favor: Don’t just flood agencies with broad requests fishing for random information. Be strategic and narrow in your requests, as a limited number of staff are processing everyone’s submissions.

1 Qualifying threshold: Some states require candidates receive a certain percentage of the vote either statewide or on the congressional district level to qualify for at-large (statewide) and/or congressional district delegates. By rule, that threshold can be no higher than 20%.
2 Winner-take-all threshold: In a number of states, there is, as allowed by the rules of the Republican Party, also a percentage of the vote that a candidate can hit statewide and/or on the congressional district level and be allocated all of the at-large  and/or congressional district delegates. That threshold can be set no lower than 50%, a simple majority.
3 Backdoor winner-take-all: Under the rules in some states, it is possible for a candidate to win all of the at-large and/or congressional district delegates if that candidate is the only one over the qualifying threshold. Such a backdoor route to a winner-take-all or winner-take-more allocation is prohibited in some states. 
4 Number of ballots bound: The RNC rules defer to the state parties the ability to bind delegates and the length of that binding. For the majority of states that point is after the first ballot. There is, however, some variation in this across states. Some extend it, while other states keep the delegates bound until released by the candidates to whom they are bound. 
5 Winner's rounding: There is also variation in rounding rules across states in the event of over- or under-allocated delegates. In a number of states, those rounding rules favor primary/caucus winners or those at the top of the order to the detriment of those candidates at the bottom of the order (just above the qualifying threshold). Other states have different rounding rules, based on the distance from the rounding threshold (typically .5).
6 Pooled delegates: Some states opt to pool and allocate all of their delegates as a block (with either proportionally or in a winner-take-all manner) while other states divide the allocation (again either proportional or winner-take-all) across both the statewide and congressional districts. This distinction is particularly relevant when it comes to either the winner-take-all threshold or the various backdoor winner-take-all scenarios that are possible. It means the difference between winning some larger fraction of delegates or all of them in some cases.
