Early voting begins Wednesday, October 30, for voters in McClain County. Voters who will not be able to make it to the polls on Election Day have the option of voting early at the McClain County Community Center, 1721 Hardcastle Blvd.

McClain County Election Board secretary Karen Haley said early voting is open to all voters.

“You do not need to provide an excuse to vote early,” she said. “Oklahoma allows early voting for all elections conducted through the County  Election Board or State Election Board, from school board and municipal elections to state and federal elections. This is a  great option for those who will  be out of town on election day or who want to avoid long lines,” Haley said.

Early voting is available  Wednesday, October 30, Thursday, October 31, and Friday, November 1, from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday, November 2, from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the McClain County Community Center.

Haley reminds voters that early voting is not available at polling locations.

Some voters may need assistance to vote because they are blind or visually disabled, physically disabled, or infirmed or illiterate.

Such individuals may request to have an assistant or vote privately and independently using the ATI device attached to the voting device.

Those who require assistance should talk to their precinct official or contact the County Election Board directly for instructions.
