ElectionsSummary
The constitutional amendment would require voters to provide proof of identity when voting by any method in any election in the state. The amendment does not define what qualifies as proof of identity; it would require the state legislature to specify what would qualify as proof of identity.
As of 2026, proof of identity is defined in state law as a document issued by the U.S. government, the state of Oklahoma, or a federally recognized Native American tribe that includes a voter's name, photo, and an expiration date in the future. If the document is valid indefinitely or it was issued by the armed forces, an expiration date is not required.
