Jan. 11 last day to register to vote for primary

Friday, Jan. 11, is the last day to apply for voter registration in order to be eligible to vote in the Presidential Preferential Primary and the Annual School Election for Pond Creek-Hunter I-90, Hennessey I-16 and Mulhall-Orlando I-3 School Districts, County Election Board secretary, Lue Ann Root said.

Persons who are United States citizens, residents of Oklahoma, and at least 18 years old may apply to become registered voters.

Persons who have never been registered to vote before or who are not currently registered in the county of their residence and persons who are registered but who need to change their registration information may apply to register or to change name or address by filling out and mailing an Oklahoma Voter Registration Application form in time for it to be postmarked no later than midnight Friday January 11, 2008.

Root said that applications postmarked after that time still will be accepted and processed, but the applications will not be approved until after

February 6, 2008.

The County Election Board responds in writing to every person who submits an application for voter registration. The response is 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. 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 located at 903 Failing Avenue, at the CDSA office located at 2615 E. Randolph, at all post offices, tag agencies and public libraries in the county.
