## Voter ID law[edit]

Oklahoma's voter ID requirements are outlined in Section 26-7-114 of state law. The law states, "Each person appearing to vote shall announce that person's name to the judge of the precinct and shall provide proof of identity, whereupon the judge shall determine whether the person's name is in the precinct registry." To view the full text of the law, click here.

The federal Help America Vote Act requires that individuals who register to vote by mail and who have not voted previously in a federal election in their state must provide either their driver's license or a paycheck, bank statement, current utility bill, or government document showing their name and address. Individuals voting by mail must include a copy of one of those documents with their absentee/mail-in ballot.[2]

These requirements do not apply if an individual submitted a copy of their identification, their driver's license number or the last four digits of their Social Security number when registering to vote.

### Voter ID for absentee voting[edit]

Voters must provide an identification number when applying for an absentee ballot.[3]

### Voter ID for early voting[edit]

Oklahoma requires non-photo ID for early voting.[4]

## Forms of accepted ID[edit]

Oklahoma requires voters to present identification while voting.[1] Generally, voters are required to present a photo ID, but there is an exception to this requirement.

Valid forms of identification include government-issued photo IDs and county election board voter identification cards (which do not include photographs).

Voters can present a document issued by the United States government, the State of Oklahoma, or a federally recognized tribal government. The document must include the following information:

* Name
* Photograph
* Expiration date that is after the date of the election[1]

## Provisional ballot rules[edit]

Voters in Oklahoma are given provisional ballots, or ballots requiring additional steps or information before they can be counted, under the following circumstances:[5]

(1) If the voter does not have or does not provide an acceptable proof of identity, the voter is entitled to cast a provisional ballot.

(2) If the voter's name is not listed in the Precinct Registry, the voter is entitled to cast a provisional ballot.

(3) If the voter disputes the political affiliation, school district, or municipality listed in the Precinct Registry, the voter is entitled to cast a provisional ballot.

(4) If the voter is a uniformed services or overseas voter and meets the criteria listed here, the voter is entitled to cast a provisional ballot.

A provisional ballot is rejected in the following circumstances:[6]

* If the voter is not registered to vote in the county;
* If the voter voted in the incorrect precinct;
* If the voter’s identity cannot be verified;
* If the voter did not change his or her party affiliation before the stated deadline;
* If the "US/OV voter does not provide an address of residence within the county or the address provided is located in another precinct."

In cases where a voter casts a provisional ballot due to not having the proper identification, the voter is asked to fill out and sign an affidavit verifying their identity. After the election, county officials investigate the information provided on the affidavit when determining whether to count the ballot.[1]

#### Was your provisional ballot counted?[edit]

Voters who cast a provisional ballot may contact their county election board office during the office's regular business hours no earlier than 5:00 p.m. on the Friday after the election to check whether their ballot was counted and, if not, why it was rejected.[7] Click here to find contact information for county election boards. Voters may also see the status of their provisional ballot in the OK Voter Portal.

## Background[edit]

See also: Oklahoma Voter Identification Measure, State Question 746 (2010)

On May 8, 2018, the Oklahoma Supreme Court issued its ruling in Gentges v. Oklahoma State Election Board, finding that Oklahoma's voter identification law did not violate the state constitution. The court's per curiam opinion said: "[The] Oklahoma Voter ID Act is based on the State's attempt to prevent voter fraud and the lack of evidence of in-person voter fraud in the state is not a barrier to reasonable preventative legislation. Requiring voters to show proof of identity serves to protect the integrity and reliability of the electoral process and prevent in-person voter fraud."[8]

The case came to the state supreme court on appeal from the Oklahoma County District Court, which had similarly upheld the constitutionality of the state's voter ID law. The original suit was brought by Delilah Gentges, who alleged that the voter ID law was "unconstitutional as an interference with the free right to suffrage and equivalent to a poll tax."[8]

## Voter ID laws by state[edit]

See also: Voter identification laws by state

Thirty-six states require voters to present identification in order to vote at the polls on Election Day. Of these states, 24 require voters to present identification containing a photograph, and 12 accept other forms of identification. The remaining 14 states do not require voters to present identification in order to vote at the polls on Election Day.

Valid forms of identification differ by state. In certain states that require voters to provide identification, there may be exceptions that allow some voters to cast a ballot without providing an ID. To see more about these exceptions, see details by state. Commonly accepted forms of ID include driver's licenses, state-issued identification cards, and military identification cards.

In the map below, states that require registered voters to present identification at the polls on Election Day or that require poll workers to request identification from a voter are classified as states requiring identification. Some of these states provide for exceptions to these requirements. See the table below the map for more details. Follow the links provided for additional information about voter identification in each state.

Several states that do not require identification generally require first-time voters to present identification at the polls. Other states that don't generally require identification may require it if the voter did not provide proper identification to register. Federal law requires newly registered voters to provide either a driver's license number or the last four digits of their Social Security Numbers at the time of registration. Many states that require identification allow voters to cast provisional ballots if they do not have the required identification. Hover over each state in the map below for more details.
