The bill amends Oklahoma election laws to clarify the eligibility criteria for candidates, particularly focusing on presidential electors. It introduces definitions for "disqualifying crime" and "disqualifying event," establishing that individuals convicted of such offenses or with pending charges are ineligible to run for office or receive votes unless they have been pardoned, expunged, or exonerated. Furthermore, it prohibits presidential electors from voting for or pledging their votes to candidates who have experienced a disqualifying event and mandates that the State Election Board notify relevant parties of any ineligibility or decertification. The bill also outlines the certification process for presidential electors and the consequences of a candidate's ineligibility, including the forfeiture of pledged votes.

Additionally, the bill addresses the responsibilities of presidential electors, stating that if they refuse or fail to vote for their party's nominated candidates, it constitutes a violation of their oath, resulting in immediate forfeiture of their office. It clarifies that a vacancy arises if an elector does not meet at the designated time or fails to vote for their pledged candidates, but allows them to vote for any eligible candidate if their nominee is ineligible or decertified. The act is set to take effect on November 1, 2025, reinforcing the integrity and transparency of the electoral process in Oklahoma.
