New rules for Oklahoma voter records

Beginning January 1, 2027, Oklahoma voter registration forms must ask about past registration in another county or state. For applicants answering yes, forms must provide space for their prior name, residence address and county, and political affiliation. When applicants report past registration in another state, the State Election Board's Secretary must notify that state's chief election official. These changes do not specify a fee or change voter eligibility. The Secretary must also issue an electronic report at least once each calendar year. It must count notices sent to and received from other states, both overall and by state. It must also count Oklahoma registrations canceled because of a definite match with a voter registered in another state. The law authorizes publications covering state and county officers, election results and statistics, candidate filings, voter registration statistics, and other necessary agency work.
