Sample ballots now available

Sample ballots are now available for the April 1 election. Voters can download a sample ballot using the State Election Board OK Voter Portal at oklahoma.gov/elections/ ovp or pick up a copy at the Sequoyah County Election Board during normal business hours.

Sequoyah County Election Board Secretary Ruby Brunk reminds voters that sample ballots are specific to each person.

“If the OK Voter Portal indicates that you have no sample ballots available, it means you are not eligible to vote in an upcoming election. We recommend checking the OK Voter Portal to make sure you have an election before heading to the polls,” Brunk said.

Brunk said sample ballots will also be posted outside ev- ery precinct polling place on Election Day, so voters can review them before casting their votes.

The Sequoyah County Election Board is located at 110 E. Creek Ave. and is open from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday. For questions, contact the Election Board at 918-775-2614 or Sequoyahcounty@elections.ok.gov.
