Early voting begins Thursday, February 6, for voters in Sequoyah County. Voters who will not be able to make it to the polls on Election Day have the option of voting early at the county election board.

Sequoyah County Election Board Secretary Ruby Brunk says early voting is open to all voters.

“You do not need to provide an excuse to vote early. Oklahoma allows early voting for all elections conducted by the county election board or state election board — from school board and municipal elections to state and federal elections. This is a great option for those who will be out of town on Election Day or who want to avoid long lines,” Brunk says.

Early voting is available 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Thursday and Friday, Feb. 6-7, at the county election board, 110 E. Creek Avenue. Early voting is not available at polling locations.

Some voters may need assistance to vote because they are blind or visually disabled, physically disabled or infirmed, or illiterate. Such individuals may request to have an assistant or vote privately and independently using the ATI device attached to the voting device. Those who require assistance should talk to their precinct official or contact the county election board directly for instructions.
