Okla. Stat. tit. 26, § 26-7-127

The following rules shall govern the counting and recounting of

votes:

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 26. Elections Page 101

1. If the name of any person is written on a ballot, the name

shall not be counted;

2. A valid vote shall be any mark prescribed by the Secretary

of the State Election Board made by voters indicating the voter's

choice of party, candidate or issue on a ballot. Such marking shall

be hereinafter referred to as "valid markings". Such valid markings

located otherwise on the ballot shall not be counted;

3. Marks used to designate the intention of the voter, other

than those herein defined as valid markings, shall not be counted;

4. Failure to properly mark a ballot as to one or more

candidates or questions shall not of itself invalidate the entire

ballot if the same has been properly marked as to other candidates

or questions;

5. A valid marking marked for a political party shall be

counted as a vote for each of the political party's candidates on

that ballot, except that a valid marking marked for a candidate's

name shall take precedence, for that office, over a valid marking

for a political party. Provided, further, that if valid markings

are marked for more than one political party on a ballot, the ballot

shall not be counted for any party offices thereon; and

6. Any ballot or part of a ballot on which it is impossible to

determine the voter's choice of candidate shall be void as to the

candidate or candidates thereby affected.
