Friday is the last day to apply for voter registration in order to be eligible to vote in the Dec. 8 Norman School Special and Oklahoma City Special Election, Cleveland County Election Board Secretary Paula G. Roberts has announced.
Roberts said persons who are United States citizens, residents of Oklahoma and at least 18 years old may apply to become registered voters.
Those who have never been registered to vote before or who are not currently registered in the county of their residence, and voters who are registered but who need to change their registration information may apply to register or to change name or address or political affiliation by filling out and mailing an Oklahoma Voter Registration Application form in time for it to be postmarked no later than midnight Friday.
Roberts said applications postmarked after that time still will be accepted and processed, but the applications will not be approved until after Dec. 8.
The County Election Board will respond in writing to each person who submits an application for voter registration. The response will be either a Voter Identification Card listing the new voter's precinct number and polling place location or a letter that explains the reason or reasons the application for voter registration was not approved.
Roberts said that any person who has submitted a voter registration application and who has not received a response within 30 days should contact the County Election Board Office.
Oklahoma Voter Registration Application forms are available at the County Election Board office, 641 E. Robinson St., Suite 200, Norman, and at all tag agencies, post offices and public libraries in the county.
