Registered voters who become physically incapacitated after 5 p.m. Monday, June 1, and are unable to make it to the polls still have an opportunity to cast their ballot.
LeFlore County Election Board Secretary Kayla Rees said state law permits voters who become emergency incapacitated after 5 p.m. June 1 to vote under special provisions.
“Voting is our constitutional right, but life happens,” Rees said. “Injury, illness, or even childbirth can prevent a voter from being able to go to the polls. That’s why it’s important to make sure voters know their rights in the event of an emergency.”
If you or someone you know becomes physically incapacitated after 5 p.m. June 1, contact the County Election Board as soon as possible. Election Board officials will work with you to make sure you have all the necessary information to cast your ballot. Information can also be found on the Oklahoma State Election Board website at oklahoma.gov/elections.
The LeFlore County Election Board is located at 103 N. Church St. in Poteau and is open from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. Election Board officials can be reached at (918) 647-3701 or Leflorecounty@elections.ok.gov.
