Time to request absentee ballots for 2020 election year

Voters who want to vote by absentee ballot for the 2020 election year should submit their absentee ballot applications to their county election board as soon as possible. Voters can request ballots for individual elections or for all elections they are eligible to vote in during the 2020 election year. Alfalfa County Election Board Secretary, Kelly Stein, encourages voters to apply early.

“We have many federal, state and local elections coming up this year. Signing up for absentee ballots is a great way to make sure you stay informed and never miss an election,” said Stein.

Applications are available at the Alfalfa County Election Board or can be downloaded at: elections.ok.gov. Voters can also apply electronically using the state election board’s OK Voter Portal at: elections.ok.gov/ovp.

Stein reminds voters that requests must be submitted no later than the Wednesday before the first election in which the voter would like to participate. The first election for Alfalfa County is the Presidential Preferential Primary election, March 3, 2020, which means the absentee application deadline for that election is February 26, 2020. The complete list of elections can be found at: elections.ok.gov.
