Dec. 25 is deadline for absentee ballot requests for Warner school election

The Warner School District is holding a Special Election on January 9, 2024. Voters who are registered in McIntosh County and live in the Warner School District may wish to apply for an absentee ballot to be mailed to them. Absentee ballots are available to all registered voters, provided they are eligible to vote in the election requested. No excuse is needed to vote by absentee ballot.

The deadline for requesting an absentee ballot for this election is 5 p.m. Monday, December 25, 2023. Voters can submit a request using the OK Voter Portal at oklahoma. gov/elections/ovp. Request forms are also available at oklahoma. gov/elections and at the County Election Board office located in the County Courthouse in Eufaula.

Voters eligible to vote in the election should apply for an absentee ballot now as mail delivery may be delayed due to the holiday season. Voters should allow time for an absentee ballot to be received, completed, and returned by mail to the County Election Board. “With some exceptions, all absentee ballot affidavits must be notarized before being returned. Voters should give themselves plenty of time to make sure all steps have been followed and that the ballot is returned on time in order to be counted.

Voters exempt from having an absentee ballot affidavit notarized include those who are physically incapacitated and those who care for physically incapacitated individuals that cannot be left alone. Voters who request a “physically incapacitated” ballot must have the signature on their absentee ballot affidavit witnessed by two people.

Military personnel and residents living overseas, along with their spouses and dependents are also eligible for certain allowances. Military personnel should contact the Voting Services Officer in their unit for an Absentee Ballot Application. Residents living overseas may obtain Absentee Ballot Applications from any United States military installation or United States Embassy or Consulate. Military personnel and overseas citizens who are already registered voters in Oklahoma may apply for absentee ballots using the OK Voter Portal at oklahoma.gov/ elections/ovp. Those who need to complete a new Voter Registration Application should apply through the Federal Voting Assistance Program at FVAP.gov.

All completed absentee ballots must be in the hands of the County Election Board no later than 7 p.m. on Election Day.

Questions? Visit the McIntosh County Election Board on the 1st floor of the McIntosh County Courthouse, 110 North 1st, Eufaula, OK, during normal business hours 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Email us at mcintoshcounty@ okelections. gov or call us (918) 689-2452.
