SECTION 230:15-11-5. Potential Deletion Report

  Information received by the State Election Board from the State Health Department, from the federal court system, the Social Security Administration, from other states, and from other counties in Oklahoma is entered manually or imported electronically into MESA. Information received from the County Court Clerk concerning felony convictions and judgments of incapacitation are entered in MESA by County Election Board personnel in each county. MESA processes all such information and when a match is made to an existing registered voter, the information is delivered to the appropriate County Election Board through the Potential Deletions Processing window. The Secretary of the County Election Board shall cause a report, called the Potential Deletions Report, to be printed from the Potential Deletions Processing window not less than once each month. This report lists persons who have died, persons who have been convicted of felonies in other counties in Oklahoma or in a federal court, and persons who have registered again in another state or in another county in Oklahoma. County Election Board personnel shall examine each potential deletion match for validity. If it is determined that the match is correct and valid, the registration of the matched voter in the county shall be deleted. The voter registrations of persons listed on the Potential Deletion Report shall be cancelled only upon positive identification of the voter's registration record. If there is any doubt that the match is not a correct and valid match, the registration of the matched voter in the county shall be retained.
