The Oklahoma Policy Institute has released this message, urging support for five particular election law bills that have already made some headway in this year’s legislative session. The Institute urges people to ask their legislators to support the bills.
The bills are HB 2181 (ballot access), SB 313 (on-line voter registration), SB 315 (provision for a roster of permanent absentee voters), SB 173 (to let notary publics to notarize up to 100 absentee ballots instead of just 20), and SB 312 (consolidating election dates to only four per year).
Here is the text of the message. Thanks to John Koza for the link. The Senate Rules Committee will probably take up the ballot access bill in two weeks. It has already passed the House.
Aren’t permanent absentees dead?
Jim,
No. That bill is in the House Rules Committee. They do not have a meeting scheduled this week, but they still have two weeks to hear it.
