Voter registration; creating the Voter Registration Integrity Act; establishing procedures for verification of certain voter information. Effective date.

SB 659, the "Voter Registration Integrity Act," requires Oklahoma state agencies (like Service Oklahoma) to verify an applicant's U.S. citizenship and Oklahoma residency before providing voter registration materials. Agencies must document and retain these verifications for five years, with violations punishable by fines up to $5,000 or 30 days in jail. The bill mandates annual compliance reports to the State Election Board and establishes oversight to ensure adherence to these verification rules. It directly affects state agencies processing voter registrations and aims to standardize citizenship/residency checks before registration. The bill takes effect November 1, 2025.
