House Bill No. 2191, introduced by Wolfley, amends Section 14-108.1 of the Oklahoma election laws to clarify restrictions on notary public activities related to absentee ballots. The bill specifies that notaries and their agents cannot request, assist in requesting, receive, or submit absentee ballots on behalf of anyone other than themselves or their household members. Additionally, it mandates that notaries maintain a log of all absentee ballot affidavits they notarize for at least two years, detailing the voter's name, address, and the notarization's date, time, and location. Notaries who notarize more than twenty absentee ballot affidavits in a single election must submit a copy of this log to the county election board, and failure to comply may result in revocation of their notary appointment for eight years.

The bill also introduces penalties for willful violations of these provisions, classifying such actions as misdemeanors subject to fines of up to $500. It allows notaries to notarize more than twenty absentee ballot affidavits with written approval from the county election board secretary, and it establishes a notification requirement for the county election board if more than ten absentee ballots are requested to be mailed to a single address, with exceptions for certain facilities. The provisions of this act will take effect on November 1, 2025.
