First steps

Election timeline
Voter registration deadline
Register or update in time for the November 3 election. A mailed application must be postmarked by this date. Applications submitted too late are processed after the election.
Standard absentee request deadline
The County Election Board must receive most absentee ballot requests by 5 p.m. No excuse is required for a standard absentee ballot.
Weekday early voting
In-person absentee voting is available from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. each day. Vote at an official early-voting location in the county where you are registered.
Saturday early voting
In-person absentee voting is available from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Hand-delivered standard absentee ballot deadline
A voter hand-delivering a standard absentee ballot must return it to the County Election Board by close of business and show the proof of identity required for in-person voting.
General Election Day and mailed ballot receipt deadline
Polls are open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Vote at your assigned polling place. Mailed or private-delivery absentee ballots must reach the County Election Board by 7 p.m.; a postmark is not enough.
Check the current rule: For in-person voting, show a qualifying federal, Oklahoma, or tribal photo ID, or the free County Election Board voter identification card. A voter without proof of identity may sign a sworn affidavit and cast a provisional ballot. Standard absentee affidavits must be notarized, and special absentee categories use different affidavit rules. Election Day voters must use their assigned polling place. Confirm locations and county business hours before traveling.
2 qualified statewide questions
The State Election Board lists two statewide questions for November 3. Both are legislative referrals and use FOR THE PROPOSAL - YES and AGAINST THE PROPOSAL - NO choices.
- State Question 845, Legislative Referendum 379Would amend Oklahoma Constitution Article 7-B, Section 3 to change Judicial Nominating Commission appointments, qualifications, terms, succession, and vacancy rules. The official ballot title states there is no fiscal impact.
- State Question 847, Legislative Referendum 381Would amend Oklahoma Constitution Article 10, Sections 8B and 8C to set 2027 and later annual fair cash value growth limits, including income-tiered limits for homesteads of people age 65 or older, and remove the current senior-freeze income cap. The official ballot title says the exact fiscal impact cannot be determined.
9 statewide appellate retention questions
The 2026 statewide retention list is Supreme Court Justices M. John Kane IV, Dana Kuehn, and Richard Darby; Court of Criminal Appeals Judges Rob L. Hudson and Gary L. Lumpkin; and Court of Civil Appeals Judges Stacie L. Hixon, Jane P. Wiseman, Deborah B. Barnes, and James Robert Huber. District and associate district judge elections vary by address and are not counted here.
