The deadline to request absentee ballots by mail is approaching. Applications must be received by the County Election Board no later than 5 p.m. Monday, February 20.

 

Washington County Election Board Secretary, Yvonne House, says absentee voting is available to all voters and can be submitted several ways: Voters can submit their application online, in-person, by fax, mail, or even email.

 

Voters can apply online using the OK Voter Portal at oklahoma.gov/elections/ovp. Applications are also available at the County Election Board or can be downloaded at oklahoma.gov/elections.

 

House reminds voters that only the applicant can submit his or her own absentee ballot application. It is against the law to submit an absentee ballot application for another person.
