§ 26 O.S. § 26-13-103Conduct of municipal elections - Partisan elections

A. All municipal elections shall be held at the same place and
in the same manner prescribed for conduct of state and county
elections unless otherwise provided by law.
B. A municipality may adopt an ordinance requiring its
elections to be partisan. If such an ordinance is adopted, a
municipality shall notify the county election board that its
election is to be partisan in its resolution calling for an
election. If a municipality fails to notify the county election
board that its election will be on a partisan basis in the
resolution calling for an election, then the municipal election
shall be on a nonpartisan basis. Provided, any municipality which
is governed by a charter may provide otherwise by charter or
ordinance.
C. All precincts totally or partially contained within the
limits of a municipality shall be open for all elections held by
such municipality; provided, however, that a municipality may
authorize any precinct which is only partially contained within the
limits of the municipality not to be opened by certifying to the
county election board in its resolution calling for an election that
no persons reside within that portion of the precinct contained
within the limits of the municipality. Polling places shall be open
from 7:00 a.m. until 7:00 p.m. Precinct officials shall be the same
as for state and county elections; provided, however, that
substitutions, if necessary, shall be made by the secretary of the
county election board.
D. Except as otherwise provided by law, the laws governing
state and county Primary and General Elections shall be applicable
to all municipal elections.
E. All municipal elections, including elections for
municipalities with home rule charters, shall be held only on dates
identified in Section 3-101 of this title.
