Voters in Creek County who want absentee ballots mailed to them for the July 8 Special Election should apply now, County Election Board Secretary Vicki Martin said today.
Absentee ballots are available to all registered voters within the boundary of the Town of Mounds,
provided they are eligible to vote in the election requested. No excuse is needed to vote by absentee
ballot.
Ballot choices for the voter are: Mounds, Town of – Proposition
The deadline for requesting an absentee ballot is 5 p.m. Monday, June 23. Voters can submit a request
using the OK Voter Portal at oklahoma.gov/elections/ovp. Request forms are also available at
oklahoma.gov/elections and at the County Election Board office located at 230 E. Hobson Ave., Sapulpa.
Martin reminds voters to allow time for an absentee ballot to be received, completed, and returned by
mail to the County Election Board. “With some exceptions, all absentee ballot affidavits must be
notarized before being returned. Voters should give themselves plenty of time to make sure all steps
have been followed and that the ballot is returned on time in order to be counted,” Martin said.
Voters exempt from having an absentee ballot affidavit notarized include those who are physically
incapacitated and those who care for physically incapacitated individuals that cannot be left alone.
Voters who request a “physically incapacitated” ballot must have the signature on their absentee ballot
affidavit witnessed by two people.
Military personnel and residents living overseas, along with their spouses and dependents are also
eligible for certain allowances. Military personnel should contact the Voting Services Officer in their unit
for an Absentee Ballot Application. Residents living overseas may obtain Absentee Ballot Applications
from any United States military installation or United States Embassy or Consulate. Military personnel
and overseas citizens who are already registered voters in Oklahoma may apply for absentee ballots
using the OK Voter Portal at oklahoma.gov/elections/ovp. Those who need to complete a new Voter
Registration Application should apply through the Federal Voting Assistance Program at FVAP.gov.
All completed absentee ballots must be in the hands of the County Election Board no later than 7 p.m.
on Election Day.
A sample ballot can be viewed using the OK Voter Portal at oklahoma.gov/elections/ovp.
