Early voting begins today (February 29) for voters in McClain County (see page 2 for sample ballots). Voters who will not be able to make it to the polls on Election Day, have the option of voting early at their McClain County Community Center.
McClain County Election Board Secretary Karen Haley said early voting is open to all voters.
“You do not need to provide an excuse to vote early. 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,” she said. “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 from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Thursday, February 29 and Friday, March 1 and 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, March 2 at Mc-Clain County Community Center, 121 Hardcastle Blvd., Purcell.
Haley reminds voters that early voting is not available at polling locations.
Some voters may need assistance to vote because they are blind or visually disabled, physically disabled, or 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 McClain County Election Board directly for instructions.
