(a) The governing board of a municipality shall provide to the County Election Board or Boards of the county or counties wherein the municipality is located, a current, correct map of the municipality. [26:13-107] The map shall define clearly the municipal limits of and the ward boundaries within the municipality. [26:13-107] In the event that changes are made to the municipal limits or ward boundaries of the municipality, the governing board shall provide a complete, revised map. [26:13-107] It is the responsibility of the governing board of a municipality to provide a current and accurate map with a resolution calling a regular or special election.
(b) The governing board of a municipality may fulfill its responsibility for providing maps to the County Election Board by submitting information defining the municipality's corporate boundaries to the Oklahoma Tax Commission as required by state law (Title 11 O.S., Section 21-112 ) and by administrative rule of the Oklahoma Tax Commission (OAC 710:65-18-10 ) and by also reporting information about any changes in the municipality's boundaries as they occur. The Oklahoma Tax Commission and the Center for Spatial Analysis at the University of Oklahoma maintain a digital mapping system for municipal boundaries. The digital maps are updated as notice of changes are received by the Tax Commission. The digital maps are available on the internet and may be downloaded and printed at no charge from the website www.csa.ou.edu. If the governing board of a municipality fails to provide the County Election Board with a map as outlined in this section, County Election Board personnel are authorized to use maps from the Center for Spatial Analysis website both to prepare for and to conduct elections and to resolve questions of voter eligibility, and to verify provisional ballots.
(c) The governing board of a municipality that nominates by ward and elects at large shall provide the County Election Board with a map showing the current ward boundaries within the municipality prior to a candidate filing period for a regular or special election. (Ward boundary lines are indicated on the digital maps maintained by the Oklahoma Tax Commission and the Center for Spatial Analysis only for municipalities that elect by ward.)
