Bill > SB153

This bill amends Oklahoma election law to require voters to sign an additional oath affirming their current physical residential address when voting. Specifically, voters must now sign a statement under penalty of perjury declaring that the address listed on their voter registration is their current residence. If a voter cannot attest to this oath, they will be permitted to cast a provisional ballot for that specific election day only. After voting with a provisional ballot, the voter will be required to update their voter registration and will not be allowed to vote again until their registration is updated. The bill also mandates that precinct officials provide a voter registration change form to anyone who cannot confirm their current address. The changes to the election code will take effect on January 1, 2026, and maintain the existing requirement that precinct registries be retained by county election boards for 24 months and remain available for public inspection. The key goals appear to be ensuring voter address accuracy and providing a mechanism for voters with potentially outdated registration information to still participate in elections.
