In-person absentee voting for the Nov. 5 general election will begin on Wednesday, Oct 30, and end on Saturday, Nov. 2, Kingfisher County Election Board Secretary Shawna Butts announced.

“You do not need to provide an excuse to vote early,” Butts said. “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.”

The voting will be held in the MAC Center on the Kingfi sher County Fairgrounds in Kingfisher.

Dates and times follow: Wednesday, Oct. 30 – 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Thursday, Oct. 31 – 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Friday, Nov. 1 – 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Saturday, Nov. 2 – 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Butts reminds voters that early voting is not available at the polling locations.

Monday, Oct. 21, was the deadline to apply for absentee ballots to be returned by mail or in person.

Butts said those who applied and are approved must return the ballots to the Kingfisher County Election Board by 7 p.m. on election day.
