Friday, March 8, is the
last day to apply for voter registration in order to be eligible to vote in the
April 2, Municipal and School General Elections, Washita County Election Board
Secretary Leah Jones said today.
Jones
said that persons who are United States citizens, residents of Oklahoma, and at
least 18 years old may apply to become registered voters.
Those who aren’t
registered or need to change their registration may apply by filling out and
mailing an Oklahoma Voter Registration Application form in time for it to be
postmarked no later than midnight Friday, March 8, 2019.
Jones
said applications postmarked after that time will be accepted and processed,
but not until after April 2nd.
The
County Election Board responds in writing to every person who submits an
application for voter registration. The
response is either a voter identification card listing the new voter's precinct
number and polling place location or a letter that explains the reason or
reasons the application for voter registration was not approved. Jones said any person who has submitted a
voter registration application and who has not received a response within 30
days should contact the County Election Board office.
Oklahoma
Voter Registration Application forms are available at the County Election Board
office located at 111 E. Main, First Floor Courthouse, Cordell, OK, and at most
post offices, tag agencies and public libraries in the county. Applications also
are available at www.elections.ok.gov.
