SB 143 Oklahoma Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Voter registration; requiring automatic voter registration under certain circumstances; clarifying right of person to decline automatic registration. Effective date.

SB 143 requires Oklahoma motor vehicle licensing agencies to automatically register eligible residents to vote when they apply for or renew a driver's license or state ID card, unless they decline. It mandates automatic voter registration as an independent (without choosing a political party) and updates registered voters' addresses based on license changes, unless declined. Individuals must confirm any refusal to register or update their address in writing or electronically. This applies to all Oklahoma residents seeking license services who are not non-citizens, affecting millions of voters interacting with the Department of Motor Vehicles.
