With the June 18 Primary Election right around the corner, Mc-Intosh County Election Board Secretary Janelle McKnight is encouraging all registered voters to verify their voting information using the State Election Board’s OK Voter Portal. The OK Voter Portal can be found at oklahoma.gov/ elections/ovp.

“If it’s been a while since you’ve voted, or you’ve recently moved or changed your name, now is the time to make sure your registration information is up to date. We want everyone to have a positive experience at the polls,” McKnight said.

Voters who have moved to another county or changed their name will need to submit a new Voter Registration Application. Applications are available at the County Election Board or online at oklahoma.gov/elections. Most other changes such as mailing address or party affiliation can be made online at oklahoma. gov/elections/ovp. (Exception: Party affiliations cannot be changed between April 1 and September 1 in even-numbered years.)

Changes must be submitted no later than 25 days before an election. May 24, 2024 is the deadline for the June 18 Primary Election. Changes submitted after the deadline will be processed immediately following the election. Applicants whose registration forms are accepted will be mailed a new Voter Identification Card. Applicants whose registration forms are rejected will be notified in writing. Applicants changing party affiliation will be updated after September 1.

Voters who encounter an issue with their registration information on Election Day can always cast a provisional ballot with a signed affidavit. Provisional ballots are verified and, if valid, counted after the election, but before election results are certified.
