Deadline to request absentee ballots is Aug. 12

For the Aug. 27 Runoff Primary Election, the deadline to request absentee ballots by mail is Aug. 12. Applications must be received by the County Election Board no later than 5 p.m.

Voters can submit their application online, in-person, by fax, mail, or even email.

Voters can apply online using the OK Voter Portal at oklahoma.gov/ elections/ovp. Applications are also available at the County Election Board or can be downloaded at oklahoma. gov/elections.

Only the applicant can submit his or her own absentee ballot application. It is against the law to submit an absentee ballot application for another person.

The only race on the ballot for the Aug. 27 Runoff Primary Election is for County Commissioner District #2. To be eligible to vote in the election, voters must be registered in the Republican party with a residence address within the boundaries of County Commissioner District #2.

The Voter Identification Card issued by the County Election Board displays the districts in which the voter is registered. Voters can also review their information and view sample ballots by using the OK Voter Portal at oklahoma.gov/ elections/ovp.

Voters who miss the deadline to apply for a ballot by mail may vote early at the courthouse from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 22 and Friday, August 23. Early voting will also be available on Saturday, August 24 from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Voters with questions about absentee voting may contact the County Election Board at (918) 689-2452 or email mci ntoshcounty@elections.ok.gov.

The McIntosh County Election Board is located on the first floor of the County Courthouse at 110 N 1st, Eufaula, and is open from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., Monday through Friday.
