§ 7-114. Procedure for determining eligibility
A. Each person appearing to vote shall announce that person's name to the judge of the precinct and shall provide proof of identity, whereupon the judge shall determine whether the person's name is in the precinct registry. As used in this section, “proof of identity” shall mean a document that satisfies all of the following:
Provided, if the person presents a voter identification card issued by the appropriate county election board, such card may serve as proof of identity without meeting the requirements of paragraphs 2 and 3 of this subsection.
B. 1. If a person declines to or is unable to produce proof of identity, the person may sign a statement under oath, in a form approved by the Secretary of the State Election Board, swearing or affirming that the person is the person identified on the precinct registry, and shall be allowed to cast a provisional ballot in a manner consistent with the provisions of Section 7-116.1 of this title.
d. the voter's Oklahoma driver license number or the last four digits of the voter's Social Security number on the affidavit matches the information in the voter registration database. The provisions of this subparagraph shall not apply if the voter was not required to provide a driver license number or the last four digits of the voter's Social Security number at the time of registration, and
3. A voter casting a provisional ballot as provided in this section who has legally changed his or her name, but has not updated the name on the voter registry, may note this fact on the affidavit and submit a form prescribed by the Secretary of the State Election Board to update his or her name. In such a case, and where the requirements of Section 4-117 of this title are satisfied, the provisional ballot shall be deemed to meet the requirements of subparagraph a of paragraph 2 of this subsection.
4. A voter casting a provisional ballot as provided in this section who has changed his or her address of residence, but has not updated the address on the voter registry, may note this fact on the affidavit and submit a form to update the address prescribed by the Secretary of the State Election Board. In such a case, and where the requirements of Section 4-117 of this title are satisfied, the provisional ballot shall be deemed to meet the requirements of subparagraph a of paragraph 2 of this subsection.
