AI Summary
This bill modifies Oklahoma's voter registration laws by establishing new procedures for verifying and potentially canceling voter registrations based on citizenship status. The bill allows the Secretary of the State Election Board to compare voter registration lists with other government databases to identify potential non-citizens. If a registered voter is definitively matched in a database as a non-citizen, they will receive a notice requiring them to provide proof of citizenship within 30 days to their county election board. Proof of citizenship must meet REAL ID Act standards, and failure to provide such proof will result in voter registration cancellation and potential reporting to district and federal attorneys. The bill also restricts access to voter registration lists, requiring applicants to complete a detailed form and attest to their eligibility, and prohibits using the list for commercial purposes or sharing it with foreign entities. Additionally, the bill expands the reasons for canceling voter registration to explicitly include determination of non-citizenship, and mandates that lists of canceled registrations be made publicly available. The changes will take effect on November 1, 2025, providing time for implementation and public awareness.
