Friday, April 18, is the last day to apply for voter registration in order to vote in the May 13 Special Elections for General Election Senate District 8 and Green Country Tech Center (TC-28) 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, April 18. Applications postmarked after that time will be accepted, but will not be processed until after the May 13 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.
