§ 16-102. Provisions not applicable to municipalities governed by charter or subject to Oklahoma Town Meeting Act--Exception--Choice of election procedure--Residency requirements
A. The provisions of Section 16-101 et seq. of this title shall not apply to any municipality which is governed by charter; provided, that elections for such municipalities which shall be conducted by the county election board shall be scheduled only on an election date identified by subsection B of Section 3-101 of Title 26 of the Oklahoma Statutes. However, such a municipality may, by indicating in its resolution calling an election, choose to follow any provision of state law governing elections conducted by a county election board when the municipality's charter or ordinances are silent on the matter addressed by such provision. In such instance, if the municipal election or any substantial portion thereof is not conducted by a county election board, the duties required of the county election board or its secretary shall be performed by the municipal authority designated by the municipal governing body and nothing herein shall be construed to require the county election board to perform any such duties. The residency requirements of Sections 16-109 and 16-110 of this title shall apply to all municipalities except to the extent that such residency requirements are governed by municipal charter.
D. After January 1, 2016, no county election board shall be required to conduct a regular or special election for any elective municipal office in any municipality governed by charter unless the resolution calling the election shall set a candidate filing period of three (3) days to begin not more than twenty (20) days from the date the resolution is required to be submitted to the county election board. In no case shall a resolution calling a regular or special election be submitted to the county election board less than sixty (60) days preceding the election date.
