Next Tuesday is Election Day in Okmulgee and the rest of the state.
The Runoff Primary election will include candidates who did not get a majority of votes at the June election.
There are both republican and democrat names on the ballots with each party able to vote for those candidates.
Democrats will be choosing between Madison Horn and Jason Bollinger for United States senator.
On the republican ballot are:
Clark Jolley and Todd russ for state treasurer; April grace and Ryan Walters for state school department; Sean Roberts and Leslie Kathryns Osborn for labor commissioner; Todd Thomsen and Kin David for corporation commissioner; T.W. Shannon and Markwayne Mullin for the unexpired US senator position; and Josh Brecheen and Avery Frix for US district 2 congressional seat.
Anyone wishing to vote early may do so starting Thursday, Aug. 18 at the Okmulgee County election board office.
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. Early voting is a great option for those who will be out of town on Election Day or who want to avoid long lines,” Carnes said.
