Fallin Names Five To Election Board

Governor Fallin today named Stephen Curry, Thomas Prince, Jim Roth, Jerry Buchanan and Dr. Tim Mauldin to the Election Board.

The Election Board is the administrative agency for the conduct of state elections and the oversight of the state’s 77 county election boards.

Whereas the board was previously composed of three members only, legislation passed in the 2011 session (SB 931) added two additional alternate members. The alternate members represent each party and may attend any meeting that a member for whom the person is an alternate is unable to attend.

Each member will begin serving immediately on an interim basis. They will each serve four year terms that require confirmation from the Oklahoma Senate.
