- OK Code
- Title 11
Sufficiency of allegations - Hearing.
When a petition alleging irregularities other than fraud is
filed, the petition must allege a sufficient number of
irregularities and of such nature as to:
1. Prove that the contestant is lawfully entitled to be
announced the winner; or
2. Prove that it is impossible to determine with mathematical
certainty which nominee is entitled to be announced the winner.
Proof of failure of the presiding officer to take the vote by a
paper ballot shall be sufficient proof of this requirement.
If such allegations are not made, the petition shall be deemed
frivolous by the presiding judge and shall be dismissed. Said
petition must set forth specific allegations of irregularities. If
said petition is filed in the manner herein provided, the district
judge of the county or such other judge as may be assigned by the
Supreme Court shall hear and determine said issue in the same manner
as provided for a petition alleging fraud.
