LAST WEEK TO REQUEST ABSENTEE BALLOTS FOR February 8th 2022 ELECTION

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, January 24th 2022. Rogers County Election Board Secretary, Julie Dermody, says absentee voting is available to all voters and can be submitted several ways. “In Oklahoma, no excuse is needed to vote by absentee ballot, and it’s easy to apply! 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.
Dermody 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. Voters with questions about absentee voting should contact the County Election Board at 918-341-2965 or rogerscounty@elections.ok.gov. The Rogers County Election Board is located at 415 W 1st St, Claremore OK 74017 and is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Thursday, 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Thursday and 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Fridays.
