Students have a decision about where to register to vote.

You have a right to register to vote at the address you consider the place where you live, whether that is your family’s home or the place where you attend school. You should update your registration anytime this home address changes.

You may only be registered and vote in one location.

Oklahoma’s voter registration form asks for your Oklahoma driver’s license or the last four digits of your Social Security number. Be sure to provide one of these numbers if you have it.

All Oklahoma voters must present ID before casting a ballot in person on Election Day or during early voting. Voters may present a voter ID card issued by their county election board, or ID issued by the U.S. government, Oklahoma government, or federally recognized tribal government that provides the voter’s name and photograph and that is current as of the date of voting, unless it is valid indefinitely.

You can request a voter ID card and find more information about Oklahoma’s voter ID requirements at: oklahoma.gov/elections/voters/proof-of-identity.html

Make a plan. Check your registration status and look up your voting site and hours at: okvoterportal.okelections.us/

By Mail: Any registered voter may cast an absentee ballot by mail without an excuse. Voters can submit a paper application form to the county election office in person or by mail, email, or fax, or apply online.

  • Mail-in Ballot Application Deadline: Applications must be received by 5 p.m. on the third Monday before Election Day.

  • Completed Mail Ballot Return Deadline: Completed absentee ballots returned by mail must be received by the county election office by 7 p.m. on Election Day. Voters who plan to return their completed absentee ballot by mail must complete and sign the affidavit on their absentee ballot envelope in the presence of a notary public.

Early In-person: Voters may vote early in-person without an excuse. A registered voter may apply for and vote an in-person absentee ballot at a designated location from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. on the Thursday and Friday immediately preceding Election Day and from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday immediately preceding a state or federal election. Voters can also vote early in person in federal general elections from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. on the Wednesday preceding a general election.

Find a list of early voting locations at: oklahoma.gov/elections/voters/early-voting.html

Election Day: Voting sites will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Election Day. If you are in line by the closing time, then you have the right to vote.

Does Registering to Vote Affect my Federal Financial Aid?

Where you register to vote will not affect federal financial aid such as Pell Grants, Perkins or Stafford loans, or your dependency status for FAFSA.

Does Registering to Vote Affect my Status as a Dependent on My Parents’ Taxes?

Being registered to vote at a different address from your parents does not prevent them from claiming you as a dependent on their taxes.

Does Registering to Vote impact my Tuition Status?

Being deemed out-of-state for tuition purposes does not prevent you from choosing to register to vote in your campus community.

 

Will registering to vote in Oklahoma affect my driver’s license or car registration?

As a full-time student in Oklahoma, you may have to make these changes regardless of whether you register to vote in Oklahoma. For more information, contact the Oklahoma Department of Public Safety.

Policy Updates

Testimony Opposing Wisconsin SB 935, Which Would Impose New and Needless Requirements for Absentee Ballot Certificate Envelopes (2022)

Litigation Updates:

In late September 2022, Fair Elections Center along with Wisconsin-based Law Forward, filed a complaint on behalf of the League of Women Voters of Wisconsin in Dane County Circuit Court, seeking both clarity and protection for absentee voters whose ballots have technical defects.

In 2024, Wisconsin courts ruled in favor of the League of Women Voters of Wisconsin in its lawsuit to clarify voting rights protections for voters whose absentee ballots have minor errors in listing their witnesses’ addresses. This decision means that absentee ballots with certain technical witness address defects will not be rejected in future elections.
