Q: How does Senate Bill 313 change the process for registering to vote in Oklahoma?

A: The legislation, signed into law April 15 by Gov. Mary Fallin, permits Oklahoma residents to register to vote electronically. An eligible voter will be able to go to the State Election Board website (www.ok.gov/elections), fill out a voter registration form and submit it online. The law becomes effective Nov. 1.



Q: What other registration methods are available in Oklahoma?

A: Currently, a hard copy of the voter registration form must be submitted to the state or county election board by mail or in person. Voter registration forms can be accessed on the State Election Board website. Paper copies are also available at post offices, public libraries, tag agencies, county election boards and certain other government agencies.
