Chamber Passed·3/25/25

Oklahoma HB2106 amends election scheduling rules, specifying permissible dates and adjusting candidate filing periods.

Oklahoma HB2106 modifies the scheduling of elections and candidate filing periods. It mandates that no election can be held on a day other than Tuesday. If an election date falls on a state holiday, it must be rescheduled to the next Tuesday. Similarly, if a candidate filing period overlaps with a weekend or holiday, it is moved to the next business day. The bill also restricts holding elections on specific Tuesdays in odd-numbered years, requiring municipalities with over 250,000 residents to file resolutions 75 days in advance. The act becomes effective November 1, 2025.
