Bill > SB1058

This bill removes the authorization for electronic precinct registries in Oklahoma elections. Specifically, it amends existing law to remove the Secretary of the State Election Board's ability to authorize the use of electronic precinct registries by county election boards. The bill also removes language related to the Secretary purchasing equipment and software necessary to implement an electronic precinct registry system. The bill maintains the requirement for county election boards to prepare a written precinct registry prior to elections, containing information on all registered voters in the precinct. The bill also specifies that the precinct registry, including data from electronic precinct registries, must be retained by the county election board for 24 months following the election and be subject to public inspection. The bill is set to become effective on November 1, 2023.
