Get your ballots in!
Due to concerns about COVID-19, many Oklahomans are voting absentee this year instead of heading to the polls for Oklahoma's primary election on Tuesday.
Oklahoma allows all eligible voters to vote absentee, but many Oklahomans are voting from home for the first time — raising questions about the correct way to mark and mail an absentee ballot.
Also adding to the confusion are some recent changes to Oklahoma's absentee voting laws.
Absentee voters must get their ballot notarized or include a copy of a valid identification card in order for their ballot to be considered valid. Tuesday was the deadline to request an absentee ballot.
State election officials are encouraging voters to return their completed ballots as soon as possible. In order to be counted, ballots must be returned to a county election board before 7 p.m. on Election Day. Voters can check the status of their absentee ballot through the OK Voter Portal, at okvoterportal.okelections.us.
