May 31 last day for voter registration

Judd Morse Staff Writer

Ada According to a press release issued by the Pontotoc County Election Board, “Oklahomans who want to elect the nominee of a political party should make sure they are registered correctly no later than Wednesday, May 31.” May 31 is the last day for registered voters to change their political affiliation.

The press release stated that a recognized political party can nominate one candidate per office for the general election in November. If more than one candidate from the same party files for the same office, the party nominee will be selected by using either primary or run-off primary elections.

Only voters registered in a recognized political party will be eligible to select that party’s nominees. As with the presidential primary elections, independent or non-partisan voters and voters registered in political organizations will not be allowed to vote for party candidates in primary elections.

The only two recognized parties in Oklahoma are the Democratic and Republican parties.

All voters who are registered can vote for any candidate at the November general election and for state or local questions in any election, regardless of political affiliation.

“Applications to register to vote or to change political affiliation are available at the Pontotoc County Election Board office, located in room 202 on the second floor of the Pontotoc County Courthouse,” said the statement. “Registration applications can also be found at all post offices, tag agents, public libraries, state offices providing public assistance, and at most political party and candidate campaign offices.”
