Where this section sits in the code
  1. OK Code
  2. Title 26

A. 1. A registered voter who swears or affirms that the voter

is physically unable to vote in person at the voter's precinct on

the day of the election because the voter is a blind person, as

defined by Section 72 of Title 7 of the Oklahoma Statutes, may

request that an accessible absentee ballot be delivered to the voter

electronically in a manner prescribed by the Secretary of the State

Election Board. A system for electronic delivery of absentee

ballots to voters who are blind persons may include the same or

similar requirements as the electronic delivery system authorized

for uniformed services voters as set forth in Section 14-118 of

Title 26 of the Oklahoma Statutes.

2. An accessible absentee voting packet for voters who are

blind persons, which shall include all necessary materials except

the absentee ballot, shall be prescribed by the Secretary of the

State Election Board. The accessible absentee voting packet may be

delivered to the voter by United States mail or electronically.

B. 1. The electronic delivery system may provide the voter the

opportunity to use the voter's personal computer to mark an

accessible absentee ballot privately and independently and then

print the marked ballot.

2. The absentee ballot shall be accompanied by an absentee

ballot affidavit, which shall be executed in the same manner as

provided for affidavits in Section 14-113.2 of Title 26 of the

Oklahoma Statutes.

3. The voter shall return the absentee ballot and executed

affidavit to the secretary of the county election board in the same

manner provided in Section 14-113.2 of Title 26 of the Oklahoma

Statutes. Nothing in this section shall allow for an absentee

ballot to be returned to the county election board electronically,

and no absentee ballot returned electronically shall be eligible to

be counted by a county election board.

C. A registered voter who is a blind person, as defined by

Section 72 of Title 7 of the Oklahoma Statutes, may choose to

request the assistance of another person to complete any

requirements of this section, as provided in Section 7-123.3 of

Title 26 of the Oklahoma Statutes.

D. Upon return of an absentee ballot described in this section,

the secretary of the county election board shall cause it to be

processed in the same manner as prescribed by law for other absentee

ballots.

E. Any person who is not qualified for the electronic delivery

of an absentee ballot as provided in this section, but who applies

for an absentee ballot described in this section, shall be deemed

guilty of a felony as provided in Section 16-102.2 of Title 26 of

the Oklahoma Statutes.

F. The Secretary of the State Election Board may promulgate

rules or procedures to implement the requirements of this section.
