Bill > HB2939

This bill makes several changes to Oklahoma's election laws, primarily focusing on absentee voting processes and the use of facsimile devices. It amends existing statutes to remove provisions allowing absentee ballots to be applied for or transmitted via facsimile device, a technology that transmits documents over telephone lines. Instead, the bill emphasizes electronic communication methods for these purposes. Additionally, it repeals a specific section of law that dealt with the transmittal of ballots by facsimile device and sets an effective date of November 1, 2026, for these changes. In essence, the bill modernizes absentee voting by phasing out faxed ballots in favor of digital alternatives.
