Polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday, October 10 for the Calumet Schools bond election. Canadian County Election Board Secretary Allen Arnold offers these important tips to voters— especially those who will be casting a ballot for the first time.
Be sure to bring an approved form of identification. Photo identification cards issued by the federal government, State of Oklahoma, or a federal tribe are accepted. You may also use the voter identification card mailed to you by your county election board. Forms of identification with an expiration date must have an expiration date that falls after the date of the election.
If you forget your voter ID or your name is not found in the precinct registry, you may still cast a provisional ballot by signing an affidavit. A provisional ballot is sealed in a special envelope and counted after election day if the voter’s registration information can be verified by the county election board. Election results cannot be certified until all provisional ballots have been verified, and (if valid) counted.
Some voters may need assistance to vote because they are blind physically disabled or infirmed, or illiterate. Such individuals may request to have an assistant or vote independently using the ATI device attached to the voting device.
