HB 1010 requires Oklahoma political parties to pay state costs if their delegates vote for a presidential candidate different from the winner of the state's primary election (except in cases of candidate death or disability). Specifically, if delegates deviate from the primary winner, the State Election Board calculates and invoices the party for ballot-related expenses (including printing, admin, and staffing), with a 90-day payment deadline. Failure to pay results in the party being barred from having candidates on future primary ballots. The bill does not change how delegates are initially allocated but adds financial consequences for post-primary deviations.
