Applicants will receive written notification once their application has been processed. Approved voters will receive a Voter Identification Card by mail. Some applicants may receive a letter explaining why their application was not approved. Anyone who does not receive a response within 15 days of submitting an application should contact the County Election Board as soon as possible.

Only registered voters with an address within the School District are eligible to vote. Please note that having a child enrolled in the school district does not automatically qualify a voter for the school ballot.

Voters are encouraged to verify their registration status, polling place, and sample ballot through the OK Voter Portal at okvoterportal. okelections.gov. If no sample ballot is available, the voter is not eligible to participate in an upcoming election. Voters can call the office to verify their eligibility.

Voters who have moved to Okmulgee County from another county or state must complete a new voter registration application. Those who have moved within the county may update their address online through the OK Voter Portal or by submitting a voter registration application.

Voter registration applications are available online at oklahoma.gov/ elections or at the Okmulgee County Election Board office, and at most post offices, tag agencies, and public libraries.
