Okla. Stat. tit. 26, § 26-2-121: Offices of county election boards – Election security

measures.

A. It shall be the mandatory duty of the county commissioners

of each county to furnish, at county expense, in each county seat a

suitable office for the county election board. The office shall

provide adequate space for storage of election records and supplies,

voting devices, ballot boxes and adequate space for the exercise of

other functions required by law of the county election board and

shall be equipped with suitable furniture and office equipment and a

telephone. The office shall be convenient to the public, shall have

furniture, furnishings and fixtures and other equipment comparable

to other county offices within the county, and necessary to the

operation of the office.

B. 1. The county commissioners of each county shall, at county

expense, implement security measures at the county election board

that are equivalent to security measures the county provides to its

other county agencies, in order to ensure the county election board

office is adequately protected from physical intrusions or attacks

and to provide cybersecurity for county-owned computer systems

operated by the county election board.

2. County officials shall immediately notify the Secretary of

the State Election Board upon learning of an attempted or successful

physical or cyber attack or intrusion committed against the county

election board.

C. To ensure the security of election records, equipment,

computers, software, ballots, supplies and other materials necessary

to conduct elections:

1. The county election board shall not share storage space

where ballots, voter registration records or election equipment are

stored with any other county agency unless authorized by the

Secretary of the State Election Board; and

2. No county personnel other than those employed by the county

election board shall be assigned workspace within the physical

offices that are assigned to the county election board.

Provided, nothing in this subsection shall prohibit the county

election board office from being located within the county

courthouse or another county-owned building shared by multiple

county agencies, nor shall it restrict the county election board

from utilizing common areas intended for use by multiple county

agencies other than as specifically prohibited in this subsection.

D. The Secretary of the State Election Board shall have the

authority to enforce the requirements of, and may promulgate

administrative rules to implement the provisions of, this section.
