Absentee ballots; establishing alternative procedures for execution of absentee ballot affidavits; requiring opportunity to cure defective application or affidavit. Effective date.

SB 329 modifies Oklahoma's absentee voting rules by allowing voters to avoid notarization or witness requirements for ballot affidavits by instead attaching a photocopy of a state-issued photo ID. It also mandates that election officials notify voters if their ballot application or affidavit is rejected and provide a clear opportunity to correct errors (a "cure" process) before the election. The bill repeals an existing requirement for notarization in absentee ballot procedures and takes effect on November 1, 2025. This change directly affects all Oklahoma voters requesting absentee ballots who previously needed to secure a notary or witnesses.
