Election activities are ramping up throughout the state, and the Okmulgee County Election Board would like to remind voters to check their voter registration status.
Election board secretary Ashley Carnes said In April of 2021, the State Election Board completed its routine, statutorily-mandated, biennial voter list maintenance. “This process removed 4,034 duplicate voter registrations and 110,973 inactive voter registrations from Oklahoma's voter rolls.”
The removal of inactive and duplicate voter registrations is a thorough, multi-step process the State Election Board must conduct every two years set out by law.
Duplicate deleted registrations matched newer registrations by the same person at a new address.
Inactive registrations removed were for voters who failed to confirm their address in 2017 and then had no voter activity through the 2020 General Election.
In addition to the biennial, statutory voter list maintenance of inactive and duplicate voter registrations, the county election boards continually update the voter rolls by removing deceased voters, voters who have registered in another state or county, or convicted of a felony, as required by law.
To learn more about Oklahoma's voter list maintenance process, see 26 O.S. § 4-120.2 or visit the State Election Board website oklahoma.gov/elections. Voters with specific questions regarding their registration should contact the County Election Board.
