Oklahoma HB2938 modifies voting eligibility for individuals who move out of state or country, restricting their voting rights in state and local.

Oklahoma HB2938 amends the Uniform Military and Overseas Voters Act to restrict voting rights for individuals who move out of state or country. It prohibits those without an intent to return from voting in state, county, municipal, or subdivision elections. However, they can still vote in national elections. Exceptions are made for individuals employed by the federal government or the State of Oklahoma who must be absent from their residence. The act also excludes those moving temporarily with the intention of returning to Oklahoma. The changes take effect on a specified date.
