Conduct of elections; prohibiting state or political subdivision from enacting certain voting method; authorizing civil action for certain violations. Emergency.

SB 386 prohibits Oklahoma state and local governments (including counties, cities, and school boards) from using ranked choice voting systems, which allow voters to rank candidates by preference and tabulate results in multiple rounds until a majority is achieved. The bill declares any existing local ordinances permitting such voting methods void and exempts political party internal processes (like conventions) from the ban. It authorizes the Attorney General to enforce the law and allows affected voters, candidates, or election officials to file civil lawsuits for violations, with courts able to award costs and attorney fees to the winning party. The law takes immediate effect as an emergency measure.
