what requirement needed to be met in order to vote in oklahoma, according to this 1910 state law?
○ registering as an elector
○ being born after january 1, 1866
○ passing a literacy test
○ living only in oklahoma

Explanation:

To determine the voting requirement, we analyze the 1910 Oklahoma state law text. The law states a person must "be able to read and write any section of the constitution" to vote (unless exempted). This is a literacy test. Let's eliminate other options: "Registering as an elector" is part of the process, not the requirement. "Being born after January 1, 1866" is not a requirement (the exemption is for those entitled to vote before 1866 or their descendants, not about birth date). "Living only in Oklahoma" is not mentioned as a requirement.

Answer:

C. Passing a literacy test
