Voters in Logan County who want absentee ballots mailed to them for the August 23
Federal/State/County Runoff Primary and City of Guthrie Special Election should apply now, County
Election Board Secretary Sheleen Winscott said today.
Absentee ballots are available to any registered voter, provided they are eligible to vote in the election
requested. No excuse is needed to vote by absentee ballot.
The deadline for requesting an absentee ballot is 5 p.m. Monday, August 8. Voters can submit a request
using the OK Voter Portal at oklahoma.gov/elections/ovp. Request forms are also available at
oklahoma.gov/elections and at the County Election Board office located at 224 E Vilas Ave., Guthrie, OK
73044.
Winscott reminds voters to allow time for an absentee ballot to be received, completed, and returned
by mail to the County Election Board. “With some exceptions, all absentee ballot affidavits must be
notarized before being returned. Voters should give themselves plenty of time to make sure all steps
have been followed and that the ballot is returned correctly in order to be counted,” Winscott said.
Voters exempt from having an absentee ballot affidavit notarized include those who are physically
incapacitated and those who care for physically incapacitated individuals that cannot be left alone.
Voters who request a “physically incapacitated” ballot must have their absentee ballot affidavit
witnessed by two people.
Military personnel and residents living overseas, along with their spouses and dependents are also
eligible for certain allowances. Military personnel should contact Voting Service Officers in their units for
absentee application forms. Residents living overseas may obtain absentee voting applications from any
United States military installation or United States Embassy or Consulate. Military personnel and
overseas citizens who are already registered voters in Oklahoma may apply for absentee ballots using
the OK Voter Portal at oklahoma.gov/elections/ovp. Those who need to complete a new Voter
Registration Application should apply through the Federal Voting Assistance Program at FVAP.gov.
All completed absentee ballots must be in the hands of the County Election Board no later than 7 p.m.
on Election Day.
