With Sequoyah County’s Board of Education general election right around the corner, County Election Board Secretary Ruby Brunk is encouraging all registered voters to verify their voting information using the state election board’s OK Voter Portal.

“If it’s been a while since you’ve voted or you’ve recently moved or changed your name, now is the time to make sure your registration information is up to date. We want everyone to have a positive experience at the polls,” Brunk says.

The OK Voter Portal is at oklahoma.gov/elections. ovp. Brunk says voters who have moved to another county or changed their name, will need to submit a new voter registration application. Applications are available at the county election board, or online at oklahoma.gov/ elections. Most other changes such as mailing address or party affiliation can be made online at oklahoma.gov/elections/ ovp. Changes must be submitted no later than 25 days before an election. Changes submitted after the deadline will be processed immediately following the election. Applicants whose registration forms are accepted will be mailed a new voter identification card. Applicants whose registration forms are rejected will be notified in writing.

Brunk says voters who encounter an issue with their registration information on Election Day can always cast a provisional ballot with a signed affidavit. Provisional ballots are verified and (if valid) counted after the election, but before election results are certified.

The county election board is located at 110 E. Creek Avenue. Office hours are 8a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Voters with questions should contact the county election board at 918-775-2614 or sequoyahcounty@ elections. ok.gov.
