Voters will head to the polls on March 5th for the Presidential Preferential Primary Election. The polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Cotton County Election Board Secretary, Shellie Hart recommends voters with questions about their eligibility or polling place call before Election Day.
“We provide a number of additional services to voters on Election Day, so it can get very busy. If you have any questions, we strongly suggest you call or come by the week before Election Day if possible. If you find that you do have a question on Election Day, however, don’t hesitate to call.”
Hart says the State Election Board’s OK Voter Portal is the easiest way for voters to verify their registration or locate their polling place. The OK Voter Portal can be found at oklahoma.gov/elections/ ovp.
The Cotton County Election Board reminds voters to bring a current federal or Oklahoma stateissued photo ID, or federally-recognized tribal ID to their polling place. An official Voter Identification Card can also be used as proof of identity. If you forget your ID, you may still cast a provisional ballot by signing an affidavit. Provisional ballots will be verified and counted after Election Day and before the election is certified.
