Oklahoma HB2191 amends notary public restrictions for absentee ballots, including log requirements, exceptions, and penalties.

Oklahoma HB2191 amends notary public restrictions for absentee ballots, limiting the number of affidavits a notary can notarize to twenty per election unless authorized by the county election board. Notaries must submit a log of notarized absentee ballots to the county election board within five business days after an election. The log is a public record. Notaries are prohibited from requesting, assisting in requesting, or receiving absentee ballots on behalf of others, except for themselves or household members. Failure to comply with these requirements results in penalties.
