Voters Encouraged to Confirm Their Polling Place Prior to Voting

Free online tool is available on State Election Board’s website

(Oklahoma City) – With the Nov. 6 General Election quickly approaching, Oklahoma Election Board Secretary Paul Ziriax is encouraging voters to confirm their precinct assignment and polling location before heading to the polls next Tuesday.

“Following the redistricting process of 2011, many voters had to be assigned to different polling places. For voters who have not voted yet in 2012, we encourage them to take a few moments to confirm their precinct assignment and polling place before heading to the polls next Tuesday,” Ziriax said.

Voters can use the State Election Board’s free polling place locator, available online at http://elections.ok.gov (see FAQ section) or http://www.ok.gov/elections/ppl/index.php.

Alternately, voters can also call their County Election Board for personal assistance.

Voters are notified by their County Election Board with a new voter identification card whenever they are assigned to a new precinct due to redistricting. But experience shows that even with a notification, there can sometimes be confusion on Election Day.
