Current through Vol. 41, No. 20, July 1, 2024
(a) The Secretary
				shall be responsible for entering the application and credit for voting for
				in-person absentee voters in MESA. The Secretary may choose any one of the
				following options for processing applications from in-person absentee voters
				and giving credit for voting during in-person absentee voting.
(1) A County Election Board employee may use
				the employee's own MESA account to verify voter registration, determine the
				ballots the voter is eligible to receive, and to give credit for
				voting.
(2) The Secretary of the
				County Election Board may allow an in-person Absentee Voting Board member to
				give credit for voting to each in-person absentee voter in MESA. A feature in
				MESA must be enabled by the State Election Board for the county in order for
				this option to be used. See (b) of this section for more information.
(3) An Absentee Voting Board member may use
				the MESA Absentee Voting Board account to verify voter registration and
				determine the ballots the voter is eligible to receive. The member prints an
				application label and affixes it to the voter's green Application for In-Person
				Absentee Ballot form. A barcode on the application label will be scanned by a
				County Election Board employee at a later time to give credit for voting. (A
				single-label printer loaded with 1½-inch by 3 ½-inch labels must
				be attached to the computer used by the Absentee Voting Board to print the
				application label.
(4) An Absentee
				Voting Board member may use the MESA Absentee Voting Board account to verify
				voter registration and to determine the ballots the voter is eligible to
				receive. The member does not print an application label. One of the Absentee
				Voting Board members writes the appropriate ballot information one each voter's
				green Application for In-Person Absentee Ballot form. County Election Board
				personnel gives credit for voting manually at a later time. The option is not
				recommended for routine use, but only when MESA is unavailable to the Absentee
				Voting Board members due to lack of power or secure internet
				connectivity.

Provided, the application for a person not yet registered must meet the deadline to register for the next election pursuant to 26 O.S. Section 4-110.1. All applications received from uniformed services voters and overseas voters are considered to be applications for all elections in which the voter is eligible to vote, except as outlined in (c) of this Section. Applications from these voters shall be processed according to the procedures outlined in (b) of this Section.
(b)
Applications received by mail, by fax, or by electronic mail.
