Oklahoma Administrative Code › Title 230 - State Election Board › Chapter 35 - Election Conduct › Subchapter 3 - County Election Board Responsibilities › Part 19 - VERIFYING AND COUNTING PROVISIONAL BALLOTS › Section 230:35-3-129 - Provisional ballot verification procedure for voter who disputes political affiliation

Current through Vol. 41, No. 20, July 1, 2024
The following steps shall be observed to verify the
					 eligibility of a provisional voter who disputes the political affiliation
					 indicated in the Precinct Registry.
(1) Look at the original registration form in
				  the Central File to determine whether the voter's choice of political
				  affiliation was entered incorrectly in MESA.
(2) Look for the voter's name on the Pending
				  Political Affiliation Changes report. If a change of political affiliation to
				  the party for which the voter cast a provisional ballot is pending but not yet
				  activated, the voter's provisional ballot must be rejected.
(3) Check the rejected applications being
				  held in the Additional Information Requested file and the Rejection Registry
				  file to determine if a voter registration application for change of political
				  affiliation to the party for which the voter cast a provisional ballot was
				  rejected.
(4) Investigate to the
				  extent possible any information provided by the voter on the provisional ballot
				  affidavit that may prove that the voter submitted a valid and timely
				  application for change of political affiliation to the party for which the
				  voter cast a provisional ballot.
(5) Indicate the disposition of the
				  provisional ballot in the "For CEB Office Use Only" space on the affidavit
				  envelope by placing a checkmark beside "Count" or "Reject" as
				  appropriate.
(6) If a provisional
				  ballot is verified and approved for counting, place the affidavit envelope,
				  unopened, in a locked ballot box or other locked container until the County
				  Election Board meets to open the affidavit envelopes.
(7) If the ballot is rejected, indicate the
				  reason for the rejection in the space provided on the affidavit envelope. Place
				  all rejected provisional ballot affidavits aside in a secure location
				  completely separate from affidavits not yet verified and from those that are
				  verified and approved for counting.

Oklahoma Administrative Code › Title 230 - State Election Board › Chapter 35 - Election Conduct › Subchapter 3 - County Election Board Responsibilities › Part 19 - VERIFYING AND COUNTING PROVISIONAL BALLOTS › Section 230:35-3-130 - Provisional ballot verification procedure for voter who disagrees with school district, technology center district, or municipal assignment

Current through Vol. 41, No. 20, July 1, 2024
When an application for voter registration is entered in
					 MESA, the Street Guide automatically assigns the residence address to the
					 appropriate precinct, and within the precinct, the appropriate school district,
					 technology center district, if applicable, and municipality. See
					 230:15-9-18.1.
					 In the event that a voter disagrees with the school district, technology center
					 district, or municipal assignment indicated in the Precinct Registry, the voter
					 is entitled to cast a provisional ballot in the school district, technology
					 center district, or municipal election in which the voter claims eligibility.
					 Such a provisional ballot may be counted only if evidence is found that
					 confirms that the voter's residence address is in fact located within the
					 appropriate school district, technology center district, or municipal boundary.
					 The following steps shall be observed to investigate a provisional ballot cast
					 as outlined in this section.
(1)
				  Compare the voter's original registration form from the Central File with the
				  voter registration information in MESA to be certain that the address was
				  entered correctly.
(2) If the voter
				  submitted a new voter registration application form at the polling place,
				  compare the address information on that new application with the information
				  already in MESA. If the address on the new application contains additional
				  details, such as the quarter-quarter section designation, a 911 address, or a
				  more specific physical description, check the Street Guide to determine if the
				  address is assigned to the voter's preferred school district or municipality.
(A) If the address is assigned to the school
				  district, technology center district, or municipality, the ballot shall be
				  counted. Update the voter's registration address information in MESA with the
				  new address.
(B) If the address is
				  not assigned to the school district, technology center district, or
				  municipality, the ballot shall not be counted.

				  at such time as the Secretary may prescribe to open the verified provisional

				  envelopes.
(1) The Board members shall
				  receive the verified provisional ballot affidavits and ballot secrecy envelopes
				  from the Secretary or a designated County Election Board employee.

				  affidavits from the ballot secrecy envelopes. If an affidavit indicates that
				  the voter received two or more ballots, but that not all the ballots enclosed
				  are to be counted, see (c) of this Section.
(A) Set the affidavit aside.

				  cancellation of a former voter registration or the rejection of an application
				  for voter registration.
(1) Check the Central
				  File for the voter's original voter registration form.

				  information is found concerning the voter's cancelled voter registration,
				  indicate the date of and the reason for the cancellation in the appropriate
				  space on the affidavit.

				  the pending and rejected applications received after the registration deadline
				  for the election. If the voter's application is located in either of these
				  files, the voter is not registered.

Two or more entities may hold elections on the same date.
					 School districts, municipalities, and some other entities have boundaries that

					 than one school district or municipality. Any combination of these entities may
					 hold elections on the same day. A voter must be registered to vote at an
					 address within the boundaries of a school district or a municipality to vote in
					 a school district or municipal election. The Precinct Registry lists a code for
					 the school district or municipality in which a voter is eligible to vote. (If
					 no school district or muncipal code is listed for a voter or if the voter says
					 the school district or municipal code listed is incorrect, see
					 230:35-5-113.2.)
					 It is, however, the voter's responsibility to determine his or her own
					 eligibility to vote in elections held by certain other entities. If a voter is
					 uncertain of his or her eligibility to vote in an election, the Judge shall
					 show the voter a map of the precinct that shows the entity's boundary
					 line.
