Registering
Ways to register:
Oklahoma lets you pre-register from age 17, so you are on the roll the moment you turn 18.
Who can register, and what you need
To register in Oklahoma you must:
- be a United States citizen and Oklahoma resident
- be 18 years old or older on or before the date of the next election (you may pre-register to vote if you are 17.5 years old; you must be 18 in order to vote and your application must be approved by the County Election Board)
- not be under judgment as an incapacitated person or a partially incapacitated person prohibited from registering to vote
- handwrite your autograph or mark and date your voter registration application using ink. *No facsimile, reproduction, typewritten or other substitute signature, autograph, or mark will be valid*
- have not been convicted of a felony, or if convicted, have fully served the sentence of court-mandated calendar days, including any term of incarceration, parole, or supervision, or completed a period of probation ordered by any court
Which primary can you vote in?
If you want to participate in Oklahoma partisan primary elections, you should register with the party whose primary you would like to vote in. However, some parties allow unaffiliated voters to participate in their primary elections.
