Summary

The bill amends Oklahoma’s Uniform Military and Overseas Voters Act to broaden who qualifies as a “covered voter.” It adds overseas citizens who left Oklahoma with the intent to return, those who would have been eligible if they were of voting age, and those born abroad with an Oklahoma‑resident parent, as well as dependents of service members. The change is intended to make it easier for more Oklahomans serving or living abroad to cast absentee ballots.
