Okla. Stat. tit. 26, § 26-2-111

to submit nominations - Vacancies.

The State Election Board shall appoint two members of each

county election board, and two alternates, to serve terms of four

(4) years each. No later than April 15, 1975, and every four (4)

years thereafter, the county central committees of the two political

parties with the largest number of registered voters in the state,

based upon the latest January 15 registration report, shall each

submit to the State Election Board a nominee for membership on the

county election board and a nominee to serve as the alternate. The

nominations must be submitted in writing and signed by at least two

members of each county central committee. If the county central

committee for a party in a county fails to submit a nominee or if

there is no county central committee for a party in a county, the

state central committee for the party may submit to the State

Election Board a nominee for membership on the county election board

and a nominee to serve as the alternate. The State Election Board

shall be confined to the nominees in making appointments, one from

each party, to the county election board and one from each party to

serve as the alternate. The appointments shall be made no later

than May 1, 1975, and every four (4) years thereafter. If a county

or state central committee fails to submit nominees by April 15, the

State Election Board shall appoint a member and alternate to the

county election board from the ranks of such party within the

county. Alternates shall serve on the county election board at any

meeting that the member for whom the person is an alternate is

unable to attend. In the event of a vacancy, the State Election

Board shall, within sixty (60) days after such vacancy occurs,

appoint a member of the same party to fill the unexpired term, based

on a nomination submitted by the party's county central committee in

the manner hereinbefore provided within thirty (30) days after the

vacancy occurs. Should a county or state central committee fail to

submit a nominee within the prescribed period of time, the State

Election Board shall appoint a member of the county election board

from the ranks of the party within the county. Vacancies shall

occur when a member fails to attend five consecutive meetings of the

board or when a member changes the member’s party affiliation. It

shall be the duty of the other two members of the board to notify

the Secretary of the State Election Board should a vacancy occur. A

vacancy shall be filled in the manner hereinbefore provided.
