Bill > SB735

This bill creates the Voter Roll Integrity and Maintenance Act, which establishes new reporting requirements for election officials in Oklahoma. Under the act, the Secretary of the State Election Board and each county election board secretary must submit annual reports by January 15 and January 31, respectively, detailing their efforts to maintain voter roll accuracy. These reports must include information about preventing non-citizens from being added to voter rolls, actions taken to remove ineligible voters, coordination with other agencies to verify voter eligibility, and an analysis of current voter registration maintenance processes. The statewide report must be published on the official state website within 30 days of submission to key state leaders. County election board secretaries who fail to submit their reports on time will receive a 14-day grace period, with potential disciplinary action for repeated non-compliance. The Secretary of State is authorized to create rules for implementing the act, which must be approved by the legislature. The bill will become effective on November 1, 2025, and aims to enhance transparency and integrity in voter registration processes.
