Oklahoma Regulations § 230:35-5-171 Voter's name not found in Precinct Registry
Regulation Text
A voter whose name is not in the Precinct Registry is entitled by law to vote a provisional ballot. Before issuing a provisional ballot, Precinct Officials shall follow these steps to try to determine whether the voter is in the correct precinct, and if not, to direct the voter to the correct polling place. However, no voter shall be turned away without having the opportunity to cast a provisional ballot. Ask to see the voter's voter identification card.

If the voter shows you a voter identification card, check the Precinct Registry again for the name exactly as it appears on the card. If the voter's name still cannot be found, use the precinct map to determine whether the residence address on the voter identification card is located within the current geographical boundaries of this precinct.

If the address is located in this precinct, issue a provisional ballot. See
