Bill Text: http://webserver1.lsb.state.ok.us/cf_pdf/2023-24%20int/sb/SB1659%20int.pdf

Reading it, it appears to require voters to reregister and provide proof of citizenship (birth certificate for most folks, but not the only valid option) and proof of address to vote in county and state elections. This would take effect starting next year.

This does not apply to federal elections, because doing this for federal elections would violate federal law (which requires you miss multiple election cycles, be notified, not respond to that notification, and miss another cycle as a bare minimum to remove someone from the rolls).
