Election Reform Bills Become Law

House Bill 3364 and House Bill 3365 have been signed into law by Governor Stitt. Both bills deal with elections.

House Bill 3364 requires online absentee ballot requests to include identification in addition to a voter’s name and birth date. After January 1, 2023, voters submitting an online absentee ballot request will be required to confirm their address.

House Bill 3365 adds information to the certified list of resident deaths, requires registration cards be mailed to a physical address with certain exceptions, and requires cancellation of a voter registration when a voter is issued a driver’s license in another state.

Representative Eric Roberts and Senator John Haste authored the bills.

“Both of these bills will help further secure our elections, which are already among the safest, most reliable elections in the country,” Roberts said. “I’m glad the Legislature saw the need for these measures and they were swiftly signed into law by the Governor.”

“Oklahoma has always been dedicated to ensuring the integrity of our election system,” Haste said. “These measures will further that effort, modernizing and strengthening our statutes.  It was a pleasure to work with Representative Roberts on these bills, and I thank our fellow members and the governor for their support.”
