Early voting begins Thursday, June 13
Early voting begins Thursday, June 13 for the Primary Election. Voters who are unable to make it to the polls on Election Day have the option of voting early at their County Election Board.
Okfuskee County Election Board Secretary Eric M. Swinford said that “Early Voting is open to all voters, however, for the upcoming June 18, Primary Election all candidates for Okfuskee County are Republicans.”
A primary election for Democratic candidates will not be held in Okfuskee County. Democratic candidates for offices in districts affecting Okfuskee County were unopposed in their party and automatically advanced to the general election. No Democratic ballot will be available at the June 18, Primary Election in Okfuskee County.
Both candidates for Okfuskee County Sheriff are Republicans, therefore the race will be decided in the June 18, Primary Election.
Swinford further said “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. 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 at the County Election Board office located inside the Okfuskee County Courthouse at 209 North Third Street in Okemah. Early Voting Days and Times are as follows:
