- (a) Following close of business each Friday, Service Oklahoma transmits a data file to the State Election Board containing information on all driver license address changes submitted in person at licensed operators and online through the Service Oklahoma website. The data file contains information only for those persons who did not opt out of simultaneously updating their addresses for voter registration purposes. Upon receipt, the data file shall be processed and, if the file contains matches to currently registered voters, the data shall be imported into MESA.
- (b) County Election Board personnel shall process Service Oklahoma address changes received electronically in MESA each week by following the appropriate MESA instructions to access the data, examine the potential matches with registered voters in the county, and to accept those that are valid matches. Changes that may be accepted include changes of a voter's residence address, mailing address, and name.
(c) The County Election Board shall acknowledge each electronic address update received from Service Oklahoma by printing and mailing the appropriate notice. The available notices include the following:
- (1) A voter identification card is mailed to each voter whose residence address or mailing address is updated by a valid electronic submission from Service Oklahoma.
- (2) An insufficient address rejection notice is mailed to each voter whose residence address or mailing address information included in an electronic submission from Service Oklahoma is insufficient for voter registration purposes. Insufficient addresses may be incomplete or invalid for voter registration. For example, a post office box address submitted as a residence address is invalid as a residence address for voter registration purposes. See 230:15-5-84 (f).
