OK HB3261

Reduces the petition signature requirement for candidates from five percent (5%) to four percent (4%) of registered voters eligible to vote in the relevant election, based on the latest January 15 registration report.

Maintains alternative filing option allowing candidates to submit a cashier's or certified check instead of petition signatures, with amounts ranging from $200 to $1,500 depending on office sought.

Directs filing fees to the State Election Board Revolving Fund (for state-level filings) or County Election Board Special Depository Account (for county-level filings).

Repeals Section 5-113 of Oklahoma Statutes, which previously allowed forfeiture of filing fees under certain circumstances.
