Registered voters could cast ballots from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Thursday and Friday and from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday at the Kingfisher County Courthouse.

The election concludes at regular polling places from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday.

Those voting in-person are urged to wear masks and maintain social distancing as much as possible, for their own protection as well as out of courtesy for other voters and precinct workers, most of whom are in vulnerable age groups.
