October Deadline Set for Pawhuska Municipal Election

Friday, October 18, 2019, is the last day to apply for voter registration in order to be eligible to vote in the November 12, 2019, City of Pawhuska Special Municipal Election, Osage County Election Board Secretary Kelly Chouteau said today.
Chouteau said that persons who are United States citizens, residents of Oklahoma, and at least 18 years old may apply to become registered voters.
Persons who have never been registered to vote before or who are not currently registered in the county of their residence and persons who are registered but who need to change their registration information may apply by filling out and mailing an Oklahoma Voter Registration Application form in time for it to be postmarked no later than midnight Friday, October 18, 2019.
Chouteau explained that applications postmarked after that time will still be accepted and processed; however, the applications will not be approved until after November 12, 2019.
The County Election Board responds in writing to every person who submits an application for voter registration.  The response is either a voter identification card listing the new voter’s precinct number or polling place location, or a letter that explains the reason or reasons the application for voter registration was not approved.  Chouteau said that any person who has submitted a voter registration application and who has not received a response within 30 days should contact the County Election Board office at (918) 287-3036 or email OsageCounty@elections.ok.gov.
