To look up a polling place, verify registration or see a sample ballot, go to the Oklahoma State Election Board website, www.elections.ok.gov. Voters can also go there to check the status of their ballot. Sample ballots are also available at the County Election Board office.
Voters must show proof of identity before getting a ballot. Valid IDs include a photo ID issued by the federal, state or tribal government; a free voter identification card issued to every voter by the election board; or voters can sign an affidavit and vote with a provisional ballot. A provisional ballot, if verified, will be counted after Election Day.
Voters who have moved since the last election but who have not moved their registration to the new address can do so on November 6 at their previous polling place. And they can fill out a form changing their address.
Electioneering is not allowed within 300 feet of a ballot box and it is illegal to possess intoxicating liquors within one-half mile of a polling place or to disclose how you voted while within the election enclosure.
