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

SB 329 changes Oklahoma's absentee ballot process by allowing voters to avoid notarization or witness requirements for certain ballots. Instead of needing a notary or two witnesses, voters may now attach a copy of their state ID to their absentee ballot affidavit. The bill also requires county election boards to notify voters of rejected applications and give them a chance to correct errors before final rejection. This directly affects Oklahoma voters requesting absentee ballots, particularly those who face barriers accessing notaries or witnesses.
