ABOUT THIS STATE

Ok fine, it's just a spot with a weird acoustic anomaly, but still, pretty cool. Here's what you need to know about voting this year in the Sooner state.

  • Can I vote by mail?

    Yes! If you're registered you can request to have your ballot mailed to you, you just have to do that by October 24th at 5 p.m. Be aware that if you do not have a specific reason to use an absentee ballot, you are required to include a notarized affidavit, so make sure to give yourself enough time to do that.

    State law now requires voters to provide an identification number that matches the identification number on their voter registration record.

    Then, you can fill it out and mail it, fax it, or return in person by November 8th at 7 p.m. You can request your absentee ballot here.

SINCE YOU LAST VOTED…

Since 2020, there have been changes that will impact how you cast your ballot in Oklahoma. Here are the differences you should keep an eye on: 

When making a plan to vote…

  • The deadline to apply for an absentee ballot has been moved up – it used to be one week before Election Day but is now fifteen days before. (That’s October 24th, 2022, for anyone who was counting.) Get your request in early!
  • There’s now an extra day of early voting – it now starts the Wednesday before the general election (November 2nd) and runs through that Saturday (November 5th). Check your county website for details on early voting hours and locations.
  • You now need to include some form of ID number (typically a license or SSN) when applying for an absentee ballot by mail. Make sure it’s the same ID you used when registering to vote, or else you’ll have to jump through more hoops with the state government – and no one wants that.
  • Oklahoma will send an address confirmation notice if they think you may have moved. Be on the lookout and return that document, or else you may not be able to vote!

When casting your vote…

  • If you help fill out and sign a ballot on behalf of another voter, you’ll now need to include your address and signature as well.
