Voter information

The last day to apply for voter registration in order to be eligible to vote in the August 28 Skiatook Special School Election, Osage County Election Board is Fri., Aug. 3, Secretary Andrea Conner said.

Persons who have never been registered to vote before or who are not currently registered in the county of their residence and persons who are registered but who need to change their registration information may apply by filling out and mailing an Oklahoma Voter Registration Application form in time for it to be postmarked no later than midnight Fri., August 3.

Conner said that applications postmarked after that time still will be accepted and processed, but the applications will not be approved until after August 28.

Oklahoma Voter Registration Application forms are available at the County Election Board office located at 630 Kihekah Ave, Pawhuska, and at most post offices, tag agencies, and public libraries in the county. Conner said that applications also are available on the Internet at www.elections.ok.gov.
On July 1, 2011, the “voter ID” law went into effect.

The law requires all voters to produce a government-issued form of identification to prove their identity before they are allowed to vote. A document used for proof of identity must include your name, which must match your name on your voter registration record, a photograph of you, and an expiration date that is later than election day.
