OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) — A metro man says after voting by absentee ballot for years, he was turned around by his bank's notary. "I was surprised because I had never come upon this kind of of a problem," David Humphrey said. Humphrey says he went to his local branch bank and was told there was a limit on the number of ballots that the bank could notarize, which was 20. "When I went there in 2020, there was no there was no comment with regards to that at all," said Humphrey. Deadline to register voting October 11, election officials say State law says a notary public shall be authorized to notarize a maximum of twenty absentee ballots. However, the law states that this limitation is not required if the absentee ballot is notarized at the place of business. "If a notary is notarized, an absentee ballots in their place of business during regular business hours, there is no limit," said Misha Mohr with the Oklahoma Election Board. "If they're notarized in outside their place of business, then there is a they do need to request permission from the county election board to notarize ballots." "If you work in a business office, check around because you probably have someone in your office that can notarize absentee ballots. Also, tag agencies, libraries, public facilities like that," Mohr said. Mohr tells News 4 a notary should never charge you to notarize an absentee ballot. The deadline to request an absentee ballot is 5 p.m. on October 21. For more information about notary public restrictions, you can click here.
