Early voting begins Thursday, Feb. 8, for voters in Okmulgee County. Voters who cannot make it to the polls on Election Day have the option of voting early at their County Election Board.
Okmulgee County Election Board Secretary Ashley Carnes said early voting is open to all voters. “You do not need to provide an excuse to vote early. Oklahoma allows early voting for all elections conducted by the County Election Board or State Election Board—from school board and municipal elections to state and federal elections. This is a great option for those who will be out of town on Election Day,” Carnes said.
Early voting is available Thursday, Feb. 8, and Friday, Feb. 9, from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the Okmulgee County Courthouse at 314 W. 7th Street, Okmulgee, in the County Election Board office on the first floor, Room 102. Carnes reminds voters that early voting is not available at polling locations.
The February election is a multi-entity election but is not a countywide election. Voters eligible to vote in the February election must be registered within the following districts to be eligible to vote in the February election: City of Okmulgee, Okmulgee Public School, Mounds Public School, and Weleetka Public Schools.
Some voters may need assistance to vote because they are blind or visually disabled, physically disabled, infirm, or illiterate. Such individuals may request to have an assistant or vote privately and independently using the ATI device attached to the voting device. Those who require assistance should talk to their precinct official or contact the County Election Board directly for instructions.
