  1. OK Code
  2. Title 26

A. All municipal elections shall be held at the same place and

in the same manner prescribed for conduct of state and county

elections unless otherwise provided by law.

B. A municipality may adopt an ordinance requiring its

elections to be partisan. If such an ordinance is adopted, a

municipality shall notify the county election board that its

election is to be partisan in its resolution calling for an

election. If a municipality fails to notify the county election

board that its election will be on a partisan basis in the

resolution calling for an election, then the municipal election

shall be on a nonpartisan basis. Provided, any municipality which

is governed by a charter may provide otherwise by charter or

ordinance.

C. All precincts totally or partially contained within the

limits of a municipality shall be open for all elections held by

such municipality; provided, however, that a municipality may

authorize any precinct which is only partially contained within the

limits of the municipality not to be opened by certifying to the

county election board in its resolution calling for an election that

no persons reside within that portion of the precinct contained

within the limits of the municipality. Polling places shall be open

from 7:00 a.m. until 7:00 p.m. Precinct officials shall be the same

as for state and county elections; provided, however, that

substitutions, if necessary, shall be made by the secretary of the

county election board.

D. Except as otherwise provided by law, the laws governing

state and county Primary and General Elections shall be applicable

to all municipal elections.

E. All municipal elections, including elections for

municipalities with home rule charters, shall be held only on dates

identified in Section 3-101 of this title.
