Polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday, May 9, for the Cashion SD I-89 Special School Election. Logan County Election Board Secretary Sheleen Winscott offers these important tips to voters—especially those who will be casting a ballot for the first time.
VOTING TIPS Mark your ballot using the example posted at your polling place and inside your ballot booth. If you make a mistake, do not try to correct it. Instead, take your ballot to the precinct officials. They will destroy the ballot and issue a new one.
You do not need to make a selection for each election/ issue on the ballot in order for your ballot to be counted. The voting device will cast votes only for those elections/issues which you have marked.
Ballots can be read by the voting device regardless of how you insert the ballot into the system. If the system detects too many markings for a single office or question, an error report will be printed and the ballot will be returned to the voter for a new ballot to be issued.
If you need assistance or would like to use the audio-assisted ballot system, let a precinct official know. You do not have to show proof of a disability to use the audio-assisted ballot system.
Be sure to bring an approved form of identification. Photo identification cards issued by the federal government, State of Oklahoma, or a federally recognized tribe are accepted. You may also use the free, voter identification card mailed to you by your County Election Board when you registered to vote. Forms of identification with an expiration date, must have an expiration date that falls AFTER the date of the election.
