(Oklahoma City) – “Early voting” – officially known as in-person absentee voting – began at 8:00 a.m. on Wednesday for the November 5 General Election.

Early voting is scheduled for Wednesday, October 30 through Friday, November 1 from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday, November 2 from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. No excuse is needed to vote early, but voters must provide proof of identity when checking in at their early voting site. More information about accepted forms of identity is available on the State Election Board website.

As a reminder, early voting sites are not the same as polling places. Tulsa County has two polling sites for early voting:  the Current Tulsa County Election Board (555 North Denver) and the Future Tulsa County Election Board (12000 Skelly Drive).  (Voters must vote in the county where they are registered to vote.)

The State Election Board recommends that voters view or download a sample ballot before heading out to their voting location. Sample ballots can be found using the OK Voter Portal. All voters will be voting on presidential electors and State Corporation Commissioner. There are also two state questions on the ballot and judicial retention. Some voters may also have congressional, legislative, county, and/or local elections on the ballot. A full list of elections by county is available on the State Election Board website.

Voters with questions should contact their County Election Board or the State Election Board for more information.
