The 2024 general election is here.

Millions of Americans have cast their ballots or are preparing to vote in what has been a hotly contested presidential election. But the next U.S. president isn’t the only thing on the ballot: Oklahomans will vote on judicial retention, four of the five U.S. representatives, members of the state Congress and two state questions.

As you head to the polls on Election Day, here’s everything you need to know before voting.

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?

To find your polling place address, visit okvoterportal.okelections.us and enter your first and last name and date of birth.

The last day to request your absentee ballot was October 21st. Absentee ballots must be received by the Oklahoma County Board of Elections no later than 7:00 PM on election night.

There are several types of absentee ballots, each with different requirements. A standard absentee ballot must be notarized. You can use the OK Voter Portal to track the status of your absentee ballot, including when it is received by your county board of elections.
