This statute clearly codifies balanced political composition by mandating that the State Election Board include two members and one alternate from the party with the largest registration and one member and one alternate from the party with the second-largest registration. The appointment mechanism involves two branches (legislative party committees submitting nominees and the Governor appointing), with the Governor's discretion confined to the submitted lists. This establishes a statutorily-grounded, enumerated procedure for balanced partisan composition.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section addresses database queries and investigation of multiple voters sharing a residential address—a voter administration and fraud-investigation procedure. It contains no language regarding minimum age requirements, residency requirements for voting, or constitutional grounding of such requirements. The criterion asks whether age and residency requirements are set in the constitution; this section does not engage that topic at all.

The statute codifies disqualification criteria in statute (felony conviction, mental incapacity) and provides enumerated restoration procedures: completion of sentence, commutation, or pardon for felons; restoration of capacity for the mentally adjudged incapacitated. The statutory restoration pathways are clearly defined with no administrative discretion, satisfying the core procedural requirement of score 2 (statute + statutory restoration).

The statute explicitly sets the requirement for certain voters to complete an address confirmation form before ballot issuance. The requirement is grounded directly in statute (26 O.S. § 26-7-115.1), specifies three categories of voters to whom it applies, and does not delegate the substantive requirement to regulation or administrative discretion. The form itself is prescribed by administrative rule, but the mandate to complete it is clearly statutory.

The statute exhaustively enumerates the acceptable ID form for electronic voter registration: a current and valid Oklahoma driver license or identification card issued by Service Oklahoma. No discretion is left to the administrator to accept alternative IDs or to modify the enumerated form.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Section 26-3-123 addresses polling place facilities (provision of rooms in school or municipal buildings) and is entirely unrelated to voter identification requirements or the availability of free state-issued ID. This section contains no language addressing identification procedures, ID requirements, or ID issuance.

The statute provides a clear, enumerated at-polls cure procedure: a voter without ID may sign an oath-based affidavit and cast a provisional ballot. The statute then exhaustively specifies the conditions under which the provisional ballot is verified and counted (name, address, date of birth, and identifier matching), including additional cure mechanisms for voters with name or address changes. This is entirely statutory and non-discretionary.

The statute explicitly defines the registration cutoff as 24 days prior to election day as a minimum and 60 days as a maximum window. This is a clear, statutorily-grounded deadline tied to election day, leaving no discretion to administrators. The rule is enumerated in the statute itself and applies uniformly.

The statute exhaustively enumerates four registration methods—mail, in-person (general agencies), motor-voter (via driver license/ID application), and electronic—using a numbered list introduced by 'may apply...by.' This structure sets statutory boundaries on available pathways rather than delegating enumeration to administrative discretion. The methods are clearly defined and are referenced to specific statutory sections where applicable, providing administrative grounding.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section enumerates eligibility conditions for voter registration (felony convictions, incapacity) but does not address what happens when a registration is rejected as incomplete. It contains no cure procedure, no notice requirements, no opportunity to correct deficiencies, and no defined timeline for remedying registration rejections. The statute sets substantive eligibility gates but is silent on the procedural mechanisms for responding to incomplete registrations.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section addresses the Oklahoma Ethics Commission's internal procedures for reviewing complaints and conducting investigations into alleged campaign finance violations. It does not address voter registration rejection, removal, or any mechanism for voters to challenge rejected or removed registrations. The criterion concerns electoral access (voter registration challenges), while this section concerns ethics enforcement and campaign finance compliance.

The statute exhaustively enumerates nine grounds for voter roll removal, including death (criterion example), change of address/residence (grounds 5, 7, and implicitly 6), and inactivity-related procedures (ground 6 referencing confirmation mailings and voting history). All removal criteria are set directly in statute with no delegation to regulation or administrative discretion. The reference to other statutory sections (4-120.1, 4-120.2, Title 30) grounds the procedures further in law.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section addresses voluntary cancellation initiated by the voter themselves, not involuntary purges by election officials. REG.6 asks whether statute requires notice and cure opportunity before a voter is removed from rolls by administrative action (e.g., due to address changes, duplicate registrations, or death records). § 26-4-120.1 does not establish a pre-purge notice requirement or cure period for involuntary removals; it only governs the voter's own election to cancel their registration. The criterion is not satisfied because the procedure described does not mandate that officials provide notice to voters facing removal and allow them to cure.

The statute requires that voter registration and motor vehicle license data 'shall be done in a secure manner,' establishing a statutory duty. However, this phrase is vague and does not enumerate specific security measures (encryption standards, access logs, audit trails) or define breach notification procedures. The statute lacks the specificity needed to satisfy the criterion's requirement for a codified data security regime with enumerated technical controls and defined breach-notification pathways.

The statute explicitly grants voters requiring assistance due to blindness, disability, or inability to read or write the right to receive assistance from a person of their choice, and enumerates specific categories of persons who are prohibited from providing that assistance (employer, employer's agent, union officer, union agent). This right and its boundaries are set directly in statute, not left to administrative discretion.

No matching sections in corpus.

The statute explicitly sets polling-place hours at 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. in statutory language, leaving no room for local administrative discretion. This is a clear, enumerated procedure established directly in the statute.

This section codifies the return and processing procedure for mail-in ballots (marking, sealing, affidavit signing, return method), but does not address the full procedure: there is no statutory enumeration of application deadlines, eligibility criteria, signature verification standards, or cure procedures for rejected ballots. The rule delegates marking standards to administrative prescription ('as prescribed by the Secretary'), and leaves signature verification and cure undefined, rendering the complete mail-in procedure incomplete at the statutory level.

This section establishes statutory codification of military-overseas absentee voting framework within Oklahoma's consolidated statutory scheme, detailing eligibility (covered voters), enumerated application methods (regular absentee application, federal postcard application, electronic equivalent), and cross-references to governing statutes (§ 14-101 et seq., § 14-139, § 14-141). The framework is set forth in statute with specific procedural pathways rather than delegated to administrative discretion.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section addresses polling place hours and precinct assignment on election day, not early in-person voting procedures. It contains no statutory enumeration of an early voting period, locations for early voting, or procedural rules governing early in-person voting access. The criterion specifically asks whether early voting period and locations are set by statute; this section does not address those topics.

No matching sections in corpus.

The statute clearly establishes the right to cast a provisional ballot in multiple enumerated scenarios (subsection B) and provides a defined adjudication procedure: the county election board secretary must investigate and verify the ballot after the election, with a specific timeline (by 1:00 p.m. Friday following the election, extendable by the State Election Board under prescribed procedures). Counting rules are specified: ballots are counted only if evidence of valid registration or identity is found. The procedure is statutorily grounded, enumerated, and includes defined investigation and appeal timelines.
