for ballot.

A. Any registered voter may apply for an absentee ballot in

person at the county election board, by United States mail, by

facsimile device as defined in Section 1862 of Title 21 of the

Oklahoma Statutes or by a means of electronic communication

designated by the Secretary of the State Election Board. The

Secretary of the State Election Board shall prescribe a form to be

used for the application, although any application setting forth

substantially the same facts shall be valid.

B. 1. A registered voter applying for an absentee ballot by

means of electronic communication shall provide his or her name,

birth date, an identification number, and other information as may

be prescribed by the Secretary of the State Election Board. The

name, birth date, and identification number provided on the

application must match the name, birth date, and identification

number in the voter registration record in order to apply for an

absentee ballot pursuant to this subsection.

2. If the voter does not recall which identification number he

or she included in the voter registration record, the voter may

provide multiple identification numbers, at least one of which must

match the identification number in the voter registration record if

such record included an identification number. If the name, birth

date, or any identification number provided does not match the voter

registration record, the voter shall be informed of the failure to

match the voter registration record and shall be provided

information and instruction to contact the county election board.

3. If the voter registration record on file with the county

election board does not contain a birth date or identification

number, the voter shall not be eligible to apply for an absentee

ballot by means of electronic communication but may apply for an

absentee ballot pursuant to subsection C of this section.

4. Identifying information such as birth date and

identification number shall not be modified online in an existing

voter registration except as provided in Section 4-109.4 of this

title.

5. No later than January 1, 2023, a registered voter applying

for an absentee ballot pursuant to this subsection who meets the

criteria provided in Section 7-115.1 of this title shall be required

to confirm his or her address prior to submitting an application for

absentee ballot by means of electronic communication.

C. 1. A registered voter applying for an absentee ballot in

person, by United States mail, or by facsimile device shall provide

his or her name, birth date, an identification number, and other

information as may be prescribed by the Secretary of the State

Election Board. The name, birth date, and identification number

provided on the application must match the name, birth date, and

identification number in the voter registration record.

2. If the voter does not recall which identification number he

or she included in the voter registration record, the voter may

provide multiple identification numbers, at least one of which must

match the identification number in the voter registration record if

such record included an identification number. If the voter

registration record does not contain a birth date or an

identification number, the absentee ballot application shall be

accepted without a match of a birth date or an identification

number.

D. For purposes of this section, "identification number" means

a number submitted on the registration application pursuant to

paragraph 3 of subsection A of Section 4-112 of this title.
