Oklahoma Statutes - Title 26. Elections Page 41

The secretary of the county election board in each county may

change the boundaries of, abolish or consolidate any precinct,

subject to the limitations provided by law, by observing the

following procedure:

1. No precinct shall be created, divided, abolished or

consolidated, or any boundary otherwise changed between January 1 of

any year which last digit is nine and December 31 of any year which

last digit is zero; and

2. The secretary of a county election board shall only change a

precinct by dividing or consolidating a precinct into two or more

precincts in a manner which will conform to designated census

geography except when it becomes necessary for reasons of a lack of

an adequate available polling place, or when road conditions hinder

or impede a voter's ability to vote, or to accomplish redistricting,

or for any other lawful purpose. Such changes shall conform to the

requirements contained in Sections 3-115 and 3-116 of this title.

3. Changes may not become effective until notices of such

changes have been posted and mailed as provided in this paragraph

for thirty (30) days. One notice shall be posted at the door of the

polling place for the affected precinct, one notice posted at the

door of the county courthouse and one notice shall be mailed to the

State Election Board.

4. The registration of each registered voter affected by such

change shall be transferred as provided by law by the secretary of

the county election board without any request from the voter.

5. Each registered voter whose registration is transferred as

hereinbefore provided shall be notified of such transfer in writing

by the secretary of the county election board. At the same time,

the voter shall be issued a new voter identification card and shall

be instructed to destroy his or her former voter identification

card.
