LAST WEEK TO REQUEST ABSENTEE BALLOTS FOR
BOARD OF EDUCATION GENERAL & STATUTORY MUNCIPAL GENERAL ELECTIONS
The deadline to request absentee ballots by mail is approaching. Applications must be received by the County Election Board no later than 5 p.m. Monday, March 17.
Delaware County Election Board Secretary, Crystal January, said absentee voting is available to all voters and applications can be submitted several ways. “In Oklahoma, no excuse is needed to vote by absentee ballot, and it’s easy to apply! Voters can submit their application online, in-person, by fax, mail, or even email,” said Crystal January.
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.
January reminds voters that 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.
Voters with questions about absentee voting should contact the County Election Board at 918-253-8762 or delawarecounty@elections.ok.gov.
The Delaware County Election Board is located at 225 S 5th St, Jay OK 74346 and is open from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., Monday through Friday.
