Oklahoma residents can register in person or online . If you want to register in person you can go to the County Election Board’s Office with your ID.

Residents must register by October 11 to participate.

Online registration can be done through the state’s Online Registration System . Online registration is not an option if you don’t have a driver’s license or state ID and a signature on file with Service Oklahoma .

If you plan to vote by mail, you can fill out a Voter Registration Application through the Oklahoma Voter Portal online or download a copy of a Voter Registration Application . Your application must be printed, signed, mailed or hand-delivered to your county’s election board.

Am I still registered to vote?

In September, Gov. Kevin Stitt announced more than 400,000 voter registrations were removed over the course of four years.

Nexstar’s KFOR reports that two main common reasons were why so many were removed, voters moved states or counties and voter inactivity.

34% of Democratic voters were removed due to inactivity, Misha Mohr, public information officer for the Oklahoma State Election Board, said to KFOR.

Mohr said it is important to check your status and if you were removed, most voters can register again.
