DEADLINE TO REQUEST ABSENTEE BALLOT FOR November 3 ELECTION APPROACHES
Voters in Wagoner County who want absentee ballots mailed to them for the November 3 General Election should apply now.
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 is 5 p.m. Monday, October 19th. 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 at 208 N LEE Ave, Wagoner OK 74477.
Voters are reminded to 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 correctly in order to be counted,” Call said.
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 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.
