Early voting starts Oct. 30

Early voting

Early voting begins Oct. 30 for voters in LeFlore County for voters unable to make it to the polls on election day of Nov. 5, according to LeFlore County Election Board Secretary, Sharon Steele.

She said early voting is open to all voters.

“You do not need to provide an excuse to vote early,” Steele said. “Oklahoma allows early voting for all elections conducted by the County Election Board or State Election Board-from school board and municipal elections to state and federal elections. This is a great option for those who will be out of town on Election Day or who want to avoid long lines.

Early voting is available Oct. 30, Oct. 31, Nov. 1 from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Nov. 2 from 8 to 2 p.m. at the LeFlore County Election Board at 103 North Church Street in Poteau.

Steele said early voting is not available at polling locations.

For voters who need assistance to vote because they are blind or visually disabled, physically disabled, infirmed or illiterate, such individuals may request to have an assistant or vote privately and independently using the ATI device attached to the voting device. Those who require assistance should talk to their precinct official or contact the County Election Board.
