Section 2 - Membership

The House of Delegates shall be composed of one delegate or alternate from each County of the State, who shall be an active or senior member of the Bar of such County, as certified by the Executive Director at the opening of the annual meeting; providing that each County where the active or senior resident members of the Bar exceed fifty shall be entitled to one additional delegate or alternate for each additional fifty active or senior members or major fraction thereof. In the absence of the elected delegate(s) the alternate(s) shall be certified to vote in the stead of the delegate. In no event shall any County elect more than thirty (30) members to the House of Delegates. Each delegate and alternate shall be elected for a term of two years to begin with the commencement of the annual meeting following his or her election, and terminating with the commencement of the third annual meeting following his or her election or until the election and certification of his or her successor, provided, that beginning with the election of delegates and alternates following adoption of this amendment, the Board of Governors shall designate the number of delegate positions in each County which shall be for an initial one-year term and which delegate positions shall be a two-year term, providing further, that as nearly as it is mathematically possible, the one and two-year terms shall be divided equally for Counties entitled to two or more delegates, the respective County Bar Association shall determine the method of designating the delegates for one-year terms and the delegates for two-year terms.

Each member of the Board of Governors of the Association shall be an ex officio non-voting member of the House of Delegates and shall be vested with the courtesy of the floor of the House of Delegates and the right to speak therein, but shall have no right to introduce resolutions or legislative proposals or motions or to vote thereon, unless certified as a delegate from his or her county of residence. Each former President of the Oklahoma Bar Association shall be a Member at Large of the House of Delegates of said Association with the same powers, duties and voting rights as an elected delegate of the House of Delegates. Also, the Oklahoma Judicial Conference shall select from its membership one district judge as delegate and one district judge as alternate, and one associate district judge as delegate and one associate district judge as alternate, and one special judge as a delegate and one special judge as an alternate who shall have, respectively, all the rights, duties and powers of delegates and alternate delegates.
