Once an applicant has been successfully registered, the county election board will mail him or her a voter identification card.[1]

## In-person voting[edit]

### Poll times[edit]

See also: State poll opening and closing times

In Oklahoma, all polls are open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Central Time. Anyone in line when the polls close must be allowed to vote.[3]

### Voter identification[edit]

See also: Voter identification laws by state

Oklahoma requires voters to present identification while voting.[4] Generally, voters are required to present a photo ID, but there is an exception to this requirement.

Valid forms of identification include government-issued photo IDs and county election board voter identification cards (which do not include photographs).

“  | A document used for proof of identity for voting must have been issued by the United States government, the State of Oklahoma, or a federally recognized tribal government.

The law requires a document used for proof of identity for voting to contain the following information:

* The name of the person to whom it was issued
* A photograph of the person to whom it was issued
* An expiration date that is after the date of the election, unless the identification is valid indefinitely[2]

### Early voting[edit]

See also: Early voting

Oklahoma permits early voting. Learn more by visiting this website.

Early voting allows citizens to cast their ballots in person at a polling place before an election. In states that permit no-excuse early voting, a voter does not have to provide an excuse for being unable to vote on Election Day. States that allow voters to cast no-excuse absentee/mail-in ballots in person are counted as no-excuse early voting states.

Forty-seven states and the District of Columbia permit no-excuse early voting. Alabama, Mississippi, and New Hampshire do not offer no-excuse early voting.

## Absentee/mail-in voting[edit]

See also: Absentee/mail-in voting

All voters are eligible to vote absentee in Oklahoma. There are no special eligibility requirements for voting absentee.[5]

Applications for absentee ballots must be received by 5 p.m. on the third Monday preceding an election. After that deadline, voters who become physically incapacitated or who are first responders or emergency workers may still be eligible to apply for an absentee ballot. A mailed absentee ballot must be received by the county election board before 7 p.m. on Election Day. Absentee ballots delivered by hand must be received by the county election board before the close of business on the Monday before the election.[5]

Although all Oklahoma voters are eligible to vote absentee, those who are visually impaired, living in a nursing home, or serving in the military or living overseas may request a special absentee ballot designed for their circumstances.[5]

## Voting rules for people convicted of a felony[edit]

See also: Voting rights for people convicted of a felony

In Oklahoma, people convicted of a felony regain their right to vote automatically upon the completion of their sentence, including parole and probation. Individuals convicted of a felony immediately regain the right to vote when they receive a pardon or a commutation of their sentence and are no longer incarcerated, on parole, or probation.[6]

Voting rights for people convicted of a felony vary from state to state. In the majority of states, people convicted of a felony cannot vote while they are incarcerated but may regain the right to vote upon release from prison or at some point thereafter.[7]
