Early voting
Early voting begins Thursday, March 30, for voters in Sequoyah County who will not be able to make it to the polls on Election Day. Voters have the option of voting early at their County Election Board.
Sequoyah County Election Board Secretary Cindy Osborn said early voting is open to all voters but is not available at polling locations. “You do not need to provide an excuse to vote early. Oklahoma allows early voting for all elections conducted 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 want to avoid long lines,” Osborn said.
Early voting is available on Thursday, March 30 and Friday, March 31, from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the County Election Board, located at 110 E. Creek Ave.
