Voter Registration in Oklahoma

Who Can Register?

You can register to vote if you are a citizen of the United States, a resident of the State of Oklahoma, and at least 18 years old or meet the age requirement to pre-register.

Pre-registration - Persons who are at least 17½ years old may pre-register to vote in Oklahoma if they meet all eligibility requirements. Applicants who pre-register cannot vote until they turn 18 years old and the application has been approved by the applicant's County Election Board Secretary. Applicants will be mailed a Voter ID card upon approval of their registration.
Persons Convicted of a Felony – Persons convicted of a felony may register to vote when they have:

a. fully served their sentence of court-mandated calendar days or had their sentence discharged, including any term of incarceration, parole or supervision, or completed a period of probation ordered by any court,

b. received a commutation that reduced the sentence of any active felony conviction to time served pursuant to federal or state law and have no other outstanding sentence under any other felony conviction,

c. received a commutation pursuant to subsection F of Section 332.2 of Title 57 of the Oklahoma Statutes for a crime that has been reclassified from a felony to a misdemeanor and has no remaining time to serve, including: 1. any incomplete term of incarceration, 2. any remaining parole or supervision, or 3. any incomplete period of probation, or

d. been granted a pardon pursuant to federal or state law and have no other outstanding sentence under any other felony conviction.

Persons Judged Incapacitated - Persons judged incapacitated by a court may not register to vote. The provisions of 26 Okla. Stat. § 4-101 shall not apply to persons adjudged to be partially incapacitated, unless the order adjudging the person to be partially incapacitated restricts such person from being eligible to register to vote.

Changing Your Registration

If you still reside in the same county, you can change your political affiliation and address online using the OK Voter Portal.

If you have moved to a new county OR need to change your name, you will need to fill out a new Voter Registration Application.

More information on updating your existing voter registration is available on the State Election Board website.

EFFECTIVE NOVEMBER 1, 2023: Voters who voluntarily cancel their registration must wait sixty (60) days to re-register in the same county.

Voter Identification Card

You do not become a registered voter until the County Election Board Secretary in the county where you reside has approved your application. Once your application has been approved, you will be mailed a Voter Identification Card to confirm your registration. Your Voter Identification Card can be used as "proof of identity" at the polls on Election Day and during "early voting."

Your Voter Identification Card lists your name, address, political affiliation and the polling place for your voting precinct. When you receive your card, look at it carefully and report any errors to your County Election Board immediately.

If your Voter Registration Application cannot be approved, you will receive a letter from the County Election Board. The letter will tell you why your application was not approved and explain the steps you need to take to become registered. You may be able to return the letter with some additional information, or you may need to submit a new Voter Registration Application.
