Elections; modifying voter residency requirements. Effective date.
SB 1351 amends Oklahoma election law to clarify voter residency requirements, stating that individuals must have been domiciled (established a permanent residence) in the United States to qualify for voting in state elections. The bill explicitly prohibits people who were never domiciled in the U.S. from registering to vote or casting ballots in Oklahoma, as they cannot establish residency under this law. This change updates Section 4-101 of the Oklahoma Statutes to add specific eligibility conditions while leaving existing rules on felony voting and incapacitation unchanged. The law takes effect on November 1, 2026.
