AI Summary
This bill, known as the "None of These Candidates Act," creates a new provision in Oklahoma's election laws. It requires that every ballot include an additional line that says "None of these candidates," allowing voters to express that preference. While votes for the named candidates will be counted, the number of ballots with the "None of these candidates" line selected will also be reported in the election results. The bill also specifies that sample ballots must clearly explain how to use the "None of these candidates" option. The act is set to take effect on January 1, 2025.
