Elections; members of the active uniform services of the United States; poll workers; effective date.
HB 1167 allows active-duty members of the U.S. uniformed services temporarily assigned to Oklahoma and their spouses to serve as poll workers (precinct officials) in any Oklahoma county, regardless of their home of record. This removes a residency requirement that previously restricted military personnel stationed in the state from working at local polling places. The bill directly affects military service members on temporary duty in Oklahoma and their spouses who wish to assist with election administration. It becomes effective November 1, 2025, and codifies this change in Oklahoma law.
