Early voting begins Thursday

Early voting for the June 18 Primary Election begins Thursday at 8 a.m. for voters across the state. Early voting, officially known as in-person absentee voting, will be held Thursday and Friday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. A list of early voting locations is available on the State Election Board website. Voters must vote in the county where they are registered to vote.

CLOSED PRIMARIES

Voters are reminded that Oklahoma has modified, closed primaries. Not every voter in every precinct will have an election in June.

In order to participate in a party’s primary election, you must be a registered voter of that party – unless the party chooses to open its primaries to Independents (unaffiliated voters). There are three recognized political parties in Oklahoma: Republican, Democratic, and Libertarian.
