This bill amends existing Oklahoma law regarding the election of district attorneys and county sheriffs, establishing that both positions will be filled through nonpartisan elections. Specifically, it mandates that candidates for district attorney and county sheriff must file as independent candidates, eliminating the need for primary elections. The language in the bill specifies that candidates will appear on the ballot without any party or other designation, promoting a nonpartisan electoral process for these offices.

Additionally, the bill outlines the qualifications for county sheriffs, including residency requirements, age, education, and prior experience as a peace officer. It also requires newly elected or appointed sheriffs to complete a sheriff's administrative school within twelve months of taking office to maintain their certification. The effective date for these changes is set for November 1, 2025.
