Bill would require all Oklahoma voters to re-register, show birth certificate

If one state lawmaker has his way, every Oklahoma voter will soon have to re-register if they want to cast a ballot; in addition, they’ll have to go to greater lengths to prove their citizenship. 

According to language in Senate Bill 1659 – filed by Republican Senator Jack Stewart – Oklahomans would have to re-register to vote by 2025, provide proof of United States citizenship and proof of current residence to the appropriate county election board to be eligible to vote in any local, state, or federal election.
