Oklahomans must register by Friday in order to vote in state, presidential elections

Friday is the last day for Oklahomans to register to vote in the Nov. 5 elections.

Misha Mohr, a spokesperson for the State Election Board, said there’s been a surge in Oklahomans signing up to vote following National Voter Registration Day last month. The national daylong event aims to increase awareness of voter registration opportunities in hopes of helping people sign up who might not otherwise do so.

Since Sept. 30, Oklahoma has added over 12,000 voters to its rolls and seen an uptick in people updating or deleting their registrations. Over 2.43 million Oklahomans are currently registered to vote. The state does not keep statistics on how many people are eligible to vote, but have not registered.

“All of our county election boards have seen a surge, and they are busy still processing voter registration applications,” Mohr said.
