Early voting begins Wednesday, Oct. 30, for voters in McIntosh County and other counties across the State. Voters who will not be able to make it to the polls on Election Day have the option of voting early at their County Election Board.

McIntosh County Election Board Secretary Janelle McKnight 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. This is a great option for those who will be out of town on Election Day or who want to avoid long lines,” McKnight said.

For voters registered in Mc-Intosh County, early voting is available Wednesday, Oct. 30, Thursday, Oct. 31, and Friday, Nov. 1, from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday, Nov. 2, from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Mc-Intosh County Courthouse located at 110 North 1st, Eufaula.

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 County Election Board directly for instructions.

Early voting is not available at polling locations. On Election Day, November 5, voters may vote in person at their assigned polling place (noted on your voter ID card). REMINDER: Voters who usually vote at the Eufaula Memorial Library will instead vote at the Eufaula Community Center, 121 High Street, Eufaula, Oklahoma.
