Oklahoma Administrative Code › Title 230 - State Election Board › Chapter 25 - Ballot Printing › Subchapter 5 - Determining Quantities and Methods of Printing Ballots › Section 230:25-5-3 - Quantity of regular ballots

Current through Vol. 41, No. 20, July 1, 2024
(a)
				The Secretary of the State Election Board shall determine the quantity of
				regular ballots to be printed for elections involving federal, state, and
				county races. [26:6-115]
(b) The
				Secretary of the County Election Board shall determine the quantity of regular
				ballots to be printed for school district, municipal, and other local entity
				elections. [26:6-115]
(c) When
				determining the quantity of regular ballots to print for an election, the
				Secretary of the appropriate election board shall consider the highest
				percentage of registered voters likely to vote in the election. [26:6-104] The
				Secretary also shall consider historical experience with similar elections and
				with previous elections held in the jurisdiction. The Secretary shall not
				necessarily be required to print a ballot for each registered voter, but shall
				ensure that a sufficient quantity of ballots is printed to provide a ballot to
				every registered voter who desires to vote in the election.
				[26:6-104]
(d) MESA automatically
				calculates the quantity of regular ballots for an election based on a
				percentage of registered voters. This calculation defaults to ninety percent of
				registered voters. The percentage used can be adjusted as needed by the
				Secretary of the State Election Board for elections involving federal, state,
				and county races. The percentage used can be adjusted by the County Election
				Board Secretary for school district, municipal, and other local entity
				elections. The Secretary of the County Election Board shall review the ballot
				quantities calculated automatically by MESA for all elections and shall verify
				that the quantities are correct and sufficient prior to the creation of ballot
				print files by the State Election Board staff.
Regular ballots shall be printed by precinct and shall be
				  bound in books of 100 ballots each.

				district, municipal, and other local entity elections. [26:6-115]
(c) A sufficient quantity of absentee ballots
				shall be printed to provide a ballot to each voter who requests one. MESA
				automatically calculates absentee ballot quantities at ten percent of the total
				number of registered voters. The Secretary shall consider such factors as the
				type of election, the interest displayed by voters and previous experience with
				similar elections to determine the number of absentee ballots to be
				ordered.
(d) Unless otherwise
				authorized by the Secretary of the State Election Board, absentee ballots shall
				be printed by precinct and bound in books of 100 ballots each. However, if
				fewer than 25 absentee ballots are needed for a precinct, the ballots for that
				precinct shall be bound in a book of 50 ballots.
