Early voting information

In most states in The Gayly’sarea, you can vote early for the general election November 8. Early voting in general continues through Nov. 4 or 5, with some states allowing early voting on Nov. 7. Over 25 million people nationwide have already cast their ballots. Here is information about major cities in the area, and suggestions for finding information in other towns and cities. Usually, the best option is to Google “[County Name] [State] Advance voting”.

Oklahoma

Early voting in Oklahoma is Thursday, Friday and Saturday, November 3, 4, and 5.

To find where to vote early, the folks urging a yes vote on SQ 792 (to modernize Oklahoma’s beer and wine laws) have provided a site that will tell you where to vote early by just typing in your address: www.yeson792.com
