AI Summary

  • Requires all voter registration applicants to provide documentary proof of citizenship, including birth certificates, U.S. passports, naturalization documents, Bureau of Indian Affairs cards, or tribal enrollment numbers

  • Creates two voter classifications: "verified voters" whose citizenship has been confirmed by election officials, and "federal-only voters" who registered via the National Mail Voter Registration Form but lack citizenship verification

  • Federal-only voters may only vote in-person using provisional ballots and are restricted to federal contests (U.S. Representative, Senator, and President); their non-federal votes are not counted unless they provide citizenship documentation by 1:00 p.m. the Friday after the election

  • Election officials must verify citizenship using Service Oklahoma, Social Security Administration, USCIS SAVE program, and other state and federal databases; the Secretary of the State Election Board must promulgate implementing rules within 180 days

  • Establishes felony penalties for election officials who knowingly register non-citizens as verified voters, for non-citizens who knowingly apply to register, and for anyone who counts non-federal votes cast by federal-only voters without citizenship verification
