SECTION 230:35-5-128. Voter who moved to new residence in the county

(a)   A registered voter who has moved to a new residence in the same county but who has not changed his or her voter registration to the new address is entitled to vote. The voter may vote only at the polling place serving the former residence address. The voter's name must be in the Precinct Registry. While at the polling place, the voter may apply to change his or her voter registration address. [26:4-117] The decision to apply to change voter registration is the voter's decision.

(b)   If a voter wants to apply to change his or her voter registration address on election day, the Judge and Inspector follow this procedure.

(1)   The Judge verifies that the voter's name is in the Precinct Registry. If the voter's name is not in the Precinct Registry, see 230:35-5-111.

(2)   The Inspector gives the voter an Oklahoma Voter Registration Application form.

(A)   Tell the voter to read the instructions printed on the form.

(B)   Tell the voter to fill out and sign the form.

(C)   Tell the voter to bring the form back to the Inspector. (The voter may take the application form away from the polling place and mail it later. The form will not receive special handling, however, and the voter may not be able to vote at the new polling place for the next election.)

(D)   Tell the voter that a new voter identification card will be mailed to the new address. The new voter identification card will list the new precinct number and polling place location.

(3)   The Judge asks the voter to sign the Precinct Registry and returns to the routine procedure. [26:4-117]
