Oklahoma Regulations § 230:15-11-9 Potential Duplicates Report

The Potential Duplicates Report lists registered voters in the county with the same last name, first initial and date of birth. When a potential duplicate registration is found, the matching records are listed as a group on the Potential Duplicates Report. After printing the Potential Duplicates Report, the Secretary shall examine the voter registration records (both in the voter registration database and in the Central File) of each person listed on the report to determine whether a duplicate voter registration has in fact been found. If it is determined that a duplication exists, the Secretary shall further examine both records to determine which of the two records shall be cancelled. In most but not necessarily in all cases, the most recent voter registration record shall be retained. Any voter history included on the record to be deleted shall first be transferred manually to the voter registration being retained in the database. The Secretary shall delete the information for the cancelled registration from the voter registration database and remove the original application form from the Central File. The reason for removal shall be noted on the form removed from the Central File and the form shall be retained as outlined in 230:10-7-40 for 24 months.
