Want to help pick the next president?
Want to vote for your favorite legislator?
Then make sure your voter registration is current, said Cleveland County Election Board Secretary Paula Roberts.
Voters who haven't voted in the past several years should check their status now, she said, by contact the election board or visiting the board's Web site.
For new voters, or those who want to change their registration, Roberts said there were several alternatives:
"They can check on line, come see us in person or go to another election board," she said.
Additionally, Roberts said several other places in Norman can process voter registration forms. Those include:
· Any tag agency.
· Any branch library of the Pioneer Library System.
· The U.S. Post Office.
However, to make sure that registration is processed quickly, Roberts encouraged voters to go to the Election Board's office at 122 S. Peters Ave. in Norman.
"I always recommend that if people want to make sure, they should come to the office and do it," Roberts said.
And this year, the lines could be longer.
"We've been busy and we expect to get busier," she said.
For voters who can make a computer work, Roberts suggested visiting the election board's Web site to check their registration status and the address of their polling place.
"They can go to our site and click on the link to the state election board and there, they can check their status and find out where their polling place is," she said.
The election board's Web site is: www.clevelandcountyelectionboard.com.
For new voters or those who change their registration, Roberts said they simply need to fill out the voter form and sign the oath.
"That's all they need to do," she said. "They don't need any other information."
With a huge turnout expected the year, Roberts said election board officials are encouraging people to take advantage of the state's absentee-in-person voting or vote by mail.
"If people are not going to be able to vote on election day, they can request an absentee ballot and vote by mail," she said. "We're expecting big lines on election day."
To contact the Cleveland County Election Board, call 366-0210 or visit the office at 122 S. Peters Ave.
