Conduct of elections; requiring proof of identity for voting purposes to include a photograph; requiring development of certain voter registration card. Effective date.
This bill requires voters in Oklahoma to present a photo identification document with an expiration date when casting ballots, with a few exceptions for military IDs and certain permanent cards. Starting January 1, 2026, voters must show ID meeting specific requirements unless they use a new free voter identification card that Service Oklahoma will create with a photo. If a voter cannot produce acceptable ID, they may sign an affidavit under oath and cast a provisional ballot that will be counted only if their registration information matches the affidavit details. The law also allows voters to update their name or address on the affidavit if they haven't already updated their registration records.
