Kingfisher County residents will go to the polls on Tuesday, Nov. 8, to cast general election ballots.

Candidates receiving the most votes in those races will be elected to office.

Early voting will be available next Wednesday-Saturday (Nov. 2-5)at the MACenter at the county fairgrounds in Kingfi sher, or qualified voters may cast votes through the conventional absentee voter process.

Voters qualifying for absentee ballots may return their ballots to the election board office by Monday, Nov. 7, in person.

Incapacitated persons’ ballots must be mailed in time to arrive in the election board office by election day, Nov. 8 to be counted.

County Election Board Secretary Shawna Butts said early voting hours at the fairgrounds will be from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, Nov. 2-4, and from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 5.

“You do not need to provide an excuse to vote early,” Butts said. “Oklahoma law allows early voting for all elections handled 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.”
