ORDER
Original jurisdiction is assumed. This court’s pronouncement in Clark v. State Election Board, 653 P.2d 529 (Okl.1982), is overruled because its construction of the applicable statutes constitutes an impermissible burden upon the right of suffrage within the meaning of Art. 3 § 1, Okl. Const. Writ is therefore denied.
Petitioner shall have 7 days from this date to seek rehearing.
DONE BY DIRECTION OF THE SUPREME COURT IN CONFERENCE THIS 6th DAY OF DECEMBER, 1982.
BARNES, V.C.J., SIMMS and OPALA, JJ., and BRETT and CORNISH, Special Justices, concur.
HODGES, LAVENDER and HAR-GRAVE, JJ., dissent.
