Oklahoma SB1879 limits qualifying justifications for absentee ballot applications and requires matching voter registration information.

Oklahoma SB1879 amends absentee ballot application requirements by limiting qualifying justifications to specific circumstances, such as being employed outside the county on election day, having a physical illness preventing attendance at the polls, or caring for someone with such an illness. The bill mandates that voter registration information, including name, birth date, and identification number, must match the application details. Failure to include a qualifying justification or match registration information results in denial of the application.
