Okla. Stat. tit. 19, § 19-23: Selection of permanent county seats

In all new counties, created since the admission of the State of

Oklahoma into the Union, and to be hereafter created, wherein

temporary, or original county seat, has been, or will be, located or

designated, other than by a vote of the people, an election shall be

called and held to locate the permanent county seat, which election

shall be called and held under the laws now in force governing the

permanent location of county seats, included in Chapter Thirty-one,

Article Four, of the Session Laws of 1907 and 1908; provided, that a

majority of all the votes cast in the county, at such county seat

election, shall be in favor of any town, such town shall thereafter

be the county seat; provided, however, that where the temporary

county seat theretofore designated, is within six (6) miles of the

geographical center of the county (said geographical center to be

determined by certificate from the Secretary of State, and said

distance to be determined by measurement from said geographical

center to the nearest corporate limits of such county seat) it shall

require sixty percent (60%) of the total vote cast at such election

by the competing town to effect the designation of such county seat,

and unless such competing town be within six (6) miles of the

geographical center of said county, in which event a majority vote

shall suffice; provided, further, that those portions of Section 14,

of Article Four of Chapter 31 of the Session Laws of 1907-1908 in

conflict herewith, applying to counties created by the Constitution,

shall have no force and effect with reference to elections to locate

the permanent county seat of counties created since the adoption of

the Constitution and since the admission of the State of Oklahoma

into the Union.
