AI Summary
This bill, effective November 1, 2026, amends Oklahoma election laws to remove provisions allowing absentee ballots to be transmitted or received via facsimile devices, which are machines that send and receive documents over telephone lines. Specifically, it repeals a section of law that dealt with transmitting ballots by facsimile and removes references to facsimile devices from sections concerning how absentee ballots are applied for, how damaged ballots are handled, and how ballots are sent to uniformed-service and overseas voters. The bill also repeals Section 14-118.1 of Title 26 of the Oklahoma Statutes, which specifically addressed the transmittal of ballots by facsimile.
