Bill > HB2939

This bill, effective November 1, 2026, amends Oklahoma election laws to remove provisions allowing for the use of facsimile devices, commonly known as fax machines, in absentee voting processes, and repeals a specific section of law related to transmitting ballots by facsimile. It updates existing statutes concerning absentee ballot applications, the transmission of ballots to uniformed-service and overseas voters, and the preparation of election notices, by removing references to facsimile transmission and emphasizing electronic mail or other electronic communication methods as alternatives. The bill also clarifies procedures for handling damaged absentee ballots, ensuring that the removal of facsimile options does not hinder the ability of voters to cast their ballots through other approved electronic means or traditional mail.
