| Henryetta voters have another trip to the polls this year. A special election to decide if Public Service of Oklahoma will be given a 25-year franchise for the town is going to be held June 9. That is a renewal of the franchise that PSO has had for a number of years. May 15 is the deadline to become a registered voter before that election. Voters have until June 3 to apply for absentee ballots. Voters may apply in person at the County Election Board office or send in their absentee applications by mail, fax or email. The application can be downloaded from the State Election Board web site or picked up in the Okmulgee County election board office. Completed absentee applications must be in the hands of the County Election Board no later than 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, June 3, 2015, in order for them to be processed and ballots mailed out to voters that day. Voted ballots must be returned by mail, UPS or FedEx not later than 7 p.m. election day to be counted. Early in-person voting dates are Thursday, June 4 and Friday, June 5, from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. All early in-person voting will take place in the first floor Election Board Office at the Okmulgee County Courthouse. Sample ballots are available in the Election Board office now. The State Election Board has a new tool at their web site which allows voters to verify their party affiliation, locate their polling location, track their absentee ballot, find early voting hours and contact information.
