The deadline is quickly approaching to apply for voter registration for the June 30 election.

Deadline to be eligible for that busy election day is Friday, June 5, said Kingfisher County Election Board Secretary Shawna Butts.

The election will cover primaries for the following:

• State officers - Corporation commissioner

• Congressional officers - United States senator (democrat and republican)

• District legislative officers - State representative, District 59 (republican)

That’s also the election in which Kingfisher’s new mayor and a city commissioner will be elected.

Roxie Alexander and Joy Ludwig are running for mayor while Kyle Mecklenburg and Richard R. Reynolds are in the running for commissioner.

There will also be school board elections in Okarche as well as Cimarron, which has registered voters in its school district who reside in the county.

Butts said persons who are United States citizens, residents of Oklahoma, and at least 18 years old may apply to become registered voters.

Those who aren’t registered or need to change their registration may apply by filling out and mailing an Oklahoma Voter Registration Application form in time for it to be postmarked no later than midnight on June 5.

Butts said applications postmarked after that time will be accepted and processed, but not until after June 30.

The County Election Board responds in writing to every person who submits an application for voter registration.

The response is either a voter identification card listing the new voter’s precinct number or polling place location or a letter that explains the reason or reasons the application for voter registration was not approved.

Butts said any person who has submitted a voter registration application and who has not received a response within 30 days should contact the County Election Board office.

Oklahoma Voter Registration Application forms are available at the County Election Board office located at 101 S. Main St., Room 8, and at most post offices, tag agencies and public libraries in the county.

Applications also are available at www.elections.ok.gov.
