Deadline to apply for absentee ballots nears





Voters in Muskogee County who want to have absentee ballots mailed to them for the July 29 Statewide Primary Election have until 5 p.m. July 23 to apply.

Absentee ballot application forms are available at the County Election Board, 400 West Broadway, Room 120. The absentee ballot application forms also can be downloaded and printed from the Internet at www.elections.state.ok.us.

Ballots must be returned to the County Election Board by 7 p.m. on election day to be counted.

Any registered voter may vote by absentee ballot in any election in which he or she is eligible to vote. However, a voter must be registered and reside at an address within the geographical boundaries of a school district or a municipality to be eligible to vote in school district or municipal elections. It is not necessary to give a reason for voting absentee.
