Early voting for bond issue begins Sept. 7

Early voting begins Thursday, Sept. 7 for voters in Haskell County. Voters who will not be able to make it to the polls on Election Day (Sept. 12), have the option of voting early at their county election board.
Registered voters in the McCurtain School District will be casting ballots regarding a bond issue.
Haskell County Election Board Secretary Rhonda Hurst said early voting is open to all voters. “You do not need to provide an excuse to vote early. Oklahoma allows early voting for all elections conducted by 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,” Hurst said.
Early voting is available Thursday, Sept. 7 and Friday, Sept. 8 from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. at Haskell County Election Board, 202 E. Main St. Suite 1, Stigler. Hurst 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.
For questions, please contact the Haskell County Election Board at (918) 967-8792 or HaskellCounty@elections.ok.gov
