House Bill No. 2191, introduced by Wolfley, amends Section 14-108.1 of Title 26 of the Oklahoma Statutes, which governs notary public restrictions related to absentee ballots. The bill clarifies that notaries public and their agents are prohibited from requesting, assisting in requesting, receiving, or submitting absentee ballots on behalf of anyone other than themselves or their household members. Additionally, it establishes new log requirements for notaries who notarize absentee ballot affidavits, mandating that they maintain a log for at least two years, including specific details such as the voter's name, address, and the notarization date, time, and location. Notaries who notarize more than twenty affidavits 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 a maximum of twenty absentee ballot affidavits per election unless authorized to do more by the county election board. Furthermore, the bill requires the county election board to notify the district attorney if more than ten absentee ballots are requested to be mailed to a single address, with certain exceptions for specific facilities and locations. The provisions of this act will take effect on November 1, 2025.
