Voters who want to have absentee ballots mailed to them for the November 3 election should apply now, Tulsa County Election Board Secretary Gwen Freeman said.

The November 3 election includes federal (president and Congress), state, county and municipal races and issues.

The election board can accept ballots until 5 p.m. on October 27 but Freeman urged voters to apply early.

Absentee ballot application forms are available at the Tulsa County Election Board office at 555 N. Denver Ave.

An online version can be filled out and submitted electronically at www.elections.ok.gov. A printed form can be downloaded at that address.

Ballots must be in the hands of Tulsa County Election Board officials by 7 p.m. on November 3 to be counted.
