Polling stations are open on election day, November 5, 2024, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. According to the Oklahoma State Election Board, lines at polling places are typically longest before and after work, and during the lunch hour.

Any eligible voter who is in line at 7 p.m. can vote.

Anyone voting in person on Election Day must provide identification.

Voters can choose from three options:

A valid photo ID issued by the federal, state or tribal government
A voter’s card
Sign an affidavit and vote a provisional ballot; if the information on the affidavit matches the official voter registration information, the ballot will be counted after Election Day

Not sure where you are going to vote or want to be sure that your polling station has not changed?

Twelve Senate seats in Oklahoma will be decided in November, and many of the races will feature a newcomer to the Senate after a number of incumbents were defeated in primaries and other senators resigned or served term limits.

State Question 833 is a legislative referendum, meaning it was put to a vote by the legislature instead of an initiative request from citizens. It would add Section 9E to Article 10 of the Oklahoma Constitution, which would “authorize the establishment of public infrastructure districts to provide support, organization, operation, and maintenance of services.”

Also, a legislative referendum, SQ 834, would amend Article 3, Section 1 of the Oklahoma Constitution to say that “only” citizens of the United States are qualified to vote in the state. This part of the Constitution currently says that “all” citizens of the United States are entitled to vote.
