Elections; Task Force on Young Voter Engagement; effective date.

HB 1301 creates a nine-member Task Force on Young Voter Engagement in Oklahoma, focusing specifically on improving voter turnout for residents under age 30. The task force, composed entirely of individuals aged 18-24 appointed by the Governor, House Speaker, and Senate President, will study barriers to voting for young Oklahomans and develop recommendations. It must publish its findings and proposed legislative changes by December 1, 2027, and meet monthly until December 31, 2027. This bill does not change voting laws directly but establishes a process to analyze youth voter engagement.
