2023 Absentee Ballot Applications Available

If you received absentee ballots by mail in 2022 and would like to continue receiving ballots by mail, you will need to complete a new absentee ballot application for 2023. You can request absentee ballots using the OK Voter Portal or you can download an application that can be printed and mailed to the Election Board or by contacting the Absentee Voting Department.

A voter can request to receive ballots for a single election or all elections in which they are eligible to vote for the calendar year. As a reminder, the Democratic Party has opened its primaries to Independent voters for 2023. Independent voters who would like to receive Democratic primary ballots should be sure to check the appropriate box on their absentee ballot application in order to receive them.

Voters are also reminded that the deadline to request absentee ballots is the third Monday (15 days) prior to each election. This law allows voters sufficient time to receive, vote, and return their absentee ballots and better aligns with the U.S. Postal Service recommendation that voted absentee ballots be mailed at least one week prior to the absentee ballot deadline. 

The next election for many voters is February 14th, 2023. Absentee ballot requests must be received no later than 5 p.m. on January 30th for the February election.
