Maddy summaryThis Oklahoma bill updates the rules and timelines for special elections to ensure they follow a consistent schedule similar to regular elections. It requires that special elections include a primary, a potential runoff primary if needed, and a general election, with specific minimum timeframes between each stage. The law also clarifies how absentee ballots are sent for special elections, mandating faster delivery within 48 hours if applications arrive shortly before the vote. Additionally, the bill expands options for voters to receive ballots via electronic mail and protects their email addresses from public disclosure. These changes are designed to streamline the election process and improve access for voters participating in special elections.
