An Act relating to elections; amending 26 O.S. 2021, Section 4-102, which relates to voter registration; requiring reregistration to vote in certain elections; requiring certain information be provided to county election board; removing eligibility to vote in certain elections under certain circumstances; defining term; requiring certain identification documents to be made available to the public; and providing an effective date.

AI Summary

This bill amends an existing law to require all eligible voters in Oklahoma to re-register to vote starting with the 2025 election cycle. The new registration process requires voters to provide proof of U.S. citizenship and current residence to the county election board. Voters who fail to re-register but meet the requirements of the National Voter Registration Act will be placed on a "Federal Election Only" list, making them ineligible to vote in local or state elections. The bill also requires the county election boards to make copies of the acceptable citizenship documents available for public inspection. The bill will become effective on November 1, 2024.
