Oklahoma Regulations § 230:30-9-9 Obtaining absentee ballot applications submitted online

⤴ Up to Subchapter 9: Processing Applications

Regulation Text

(a) The online absentee application tool on the State Election Board website delivers the submitted applications to the appropriate County Election Board through MESA. These applications submitted online must be printed and entered into MESA like any other absentee ballot application. Absentee ballot applications may be submitted online at any time. The Secretary of the County Election Board shall be responsible for printing online absentee ballot applications on a daily basis and entering them into MESA as required by 230:30-9-1 .
(b) The online absentee application tool formats an Oklahoma Absentee Ballot Application form and populates it with the information entered by an applicant. Based upon the information entered by the applicant, the forms produced by the system may be printed by the types provided for in state law.
(c) Reports are available both at the County Election Board and the State Election Board to allow monitoring of applications submitted through the online absentee application tool. You must request and examine these reports daily to be sure that all applications received are being printed and processed in a timely manner.
(1) The Online Absentee Application Statistics report lists by type the number of absentee ballot applications submitted to the county in a specified date range.
(2) The Online Absentee Application Statistics Log report lists information about each application submitted online to the county. It may be sorted and printed by voter's name or by application type.
(d) The online absentee ballot application tool directs uniformed services and overseas voters to the Federal Voting Assistance Program website to complete and submit a Federal Post Card Application. However, a uniformed services or overseas voter is not prevented from using the application tool on the State Election Board website. In the event an applicant enters an APO or FPO address or an address located outside the United States as the "mail ballots to" address on an application, it should be entered as a uniformed services or overseas application.
