Okla. Stat. tit. 26, § 26-14-115.5: Absentee voting boards

A. To carry out the provisions of Sections 14-115 and 14-115.4

of this title, the secretary of the county election board shall

designate one or more absentee voting boards, to be composed of two

(2) members each, with each member to be of a different political

affiliation.

B. No later than June 1 in each even-numbered year, the chair

of the county central committees of the two political parties having

the highest number of registered voters in the county shall each

submit a list of ten names to the secretary. Such lists shall

contain names of registered voters of the county, who shall meet the

same eligibility requirements for precinct officials as described in

Section 2-131 of this title.

C. The secretary shall utilize such lists in designating

membership on the absentee voting board or boards, unless all

persons on such lists are ineligible, unable or unwilling to serve.

In the event the chair of the county central committee of a

political party fails to submit a list as herein provided, the

secretary shall appoint membership to such board or boards from the

ranks of registered voters of such party within the county.

Provided further, that in the event the list of names of either or

both parties is exhausted and additional absentee voting boards are

needed, the secretary shall appoint additional members to such

boards from the ranks of such party or parties in the county.

D. Members of an absentee voting board shall be compensated at

the same rate as a precinct judge or clerk.

E. One member of each such board serving a nursing home, State

Veterans Home or convalescent hospital, shall be allowed mileage

reimbursement at the rate prescribed for travel by state employees

according to the State Travel Reimbursement Act.
