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, October 19, 2026.
Absentee voting is available to all voters, and applications can be submitted several ways, said Lincoln County Election Board Secretary Dena Jo Bromley.
“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,” said Bromley.
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. Bromley said that in most cases it is against the law to request or submit an absentee ballot on behalf of another person.
Voters with questions about absentee voting should contact the County Election Board at 405-258-1349 or lincolncounty@elections.ok.gov or visit the State Election Board website at oklahoma.gov/elections.
The Lincoln County Election Board is located at 811 Manvel Ave., Ste. 15, and is open from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday.
