The last day to register to vote for the June 16 State and County Primary Election is May 22, Lincoln County Election Board Secretary Dena Jo Bromley said.
Bromley said that persons who are United States citizens, residents of Oklahoma, and at least 17.5 years old are eligible to apply for voter registration. However, you must be at least 18 years old to vote.
Applications must be received by the County Election Board or postmarked no later than midnight, May 22. Applications postmarked after that time will be accepted but will not be processed until after the June 16 Election. Applications may also be submitted to any motor vehicle agency that is also an official voter registration agency by the submission deadline.
Applicants will be notified in writing when their application has been processed. Approved voters will receive a voter identification card in the mail. Some may receive a letter explaining the reason(s) the application could not be approved. Bromley said those who do not receive a response within 30 days of submitting their application should contact the County Election Board office immediately.
The Lincoln County Election Board reminds voters that applications must be approved by the Secretary of the County Election Board to vote.
Registered voters who have moved to Lincoln County from a different county or state will need to complete and submit a new Voter Registration Application to update their voter registration. New applicants may register to vote using the OK Voter Portal’s Online Voter Registration System at oklahoma.gov/ elections/ovp. (A current and valid Oklahoma Driver License or State ID is required for online registration.) Voter Registration Applications can also be download from the State Election Board website at oklahoma.gov/elections or obtained from your County Election Board. Applications are also available at most tag agencies, post offices and public libraries.
If you have moved within the county and need to update your address, you may make changes online using the OK Voter Portal or complete a paper Voter Registration Application.
