Voter registration deadline approaching

May 24 is the last day to apply for voter registration in order to be eligible to vote in the June 18 Primary Election. Persons who are United States Citizens, residents of Oklahoma, and at least 17 ½ years old are eligible to apply for voter registration. However, you must be at least 18 years old to vote.

Applications must be received by the County Election Board or postmarked no later than midnight, May 24. Applications postmarked after that time will be accepted, but will not be processed until after the June 18 Election. Applications may also be submitted to any motor vehicle agency that is also an official voter registration agency by the submission deadline.

Applicants will be notified in writing when their application has been processed. Approved voters will receive a Voter Identification Card in the mail. Some may receive a letter that explains the reason or reasons the application was not approved. Those who do not receive a response within 30 days of submitting their application should contact the County Election Board office immediately.

Registered voters who have moved to Mc-Intosh County from a different county or state will need to complete a new Voter Registration Application in order to be eligible for elections in McIntosh County. If you have moved within the county and need to update your address, you may make changes online using the OK Voter Portal at oklahoma. gov/elections/ovp or complete a Voter Registration Application.

Voter Registration Applications can be downloaded from the State Election Board website at oklahoma. gov/elections. You may also complete a form at your County Election Board. Most post offices, tag agencies, and public libraries have applications available upon request.

Other significant deadlines related to the Primary Election: June 3 is the last day to request an application for absentee ballot by mail; early voting will be held at the courthouse from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Thursday, June 13 and Friday, June 14 and on June 15 from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Questions? Call us (918) 689-2452 or e-mail mcintoshcounty@elections. ok.gov. The Mc-Intosh County Election Board is located on the 1st floor of the County Courthouse at 110 N First, Eufaula, Oklahoma, and is open from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., Monday through Friday. Voters may also visit the State Election Board website at oklahoma.gov/elections or follow the Mc-Intosh County Election Board on Facebook social media.
