SB 536 Oklahoma Senate · 2026 Regular Session

County election boards; authorizing certain actions by assistant secretary under specified circumstances. Effective date.

SB 536 amends Oklahoma election law to clarify when an assistant secretary can act for a county election board secretary. It requires county boards to notify the State Election Board when appointing an assistant secretary and authorizes the assistant secretary to perform the secretary’s duties during absences (e.g., illness) or vacancies (e.g., death, resignation), with written approval from the State Election Board Secretary. During these periods, the assistant secretary may also vote at board meetings. The bill also sets salary rules, requiring the assistant secretary’s minimum pay to be 90% of the secretary’s salary.
