Last Week to Request Absentee Ballots for August 25 Runoff Primary Election/Special Sallisaw Schools Election

Tuesday, July 21, 2026 —The deadline to request absentee ballots by mail is approaching. Applications must be received by the County Election Board no later than 5 p.m. Monday, August 10.

Sequoyah County Election Board Secretary Ruby Brunk said absentee voting is available to all voters, and applications can be submitted several ways.

"In Oklahoma, no excuse is needed to vote by absentee ballot, and it's easy to apply. Voters can submit their application online, in person, by fax, mail, or even email," said Brunk.

Voters can apply online using the OK Voter Portal at oklahoma.gov/elections/ovp. Applications are also available at the County Election Board or can be downloaded at oklahoma.gov/elections.

Brunk reminds voters that, in most cases, it is against the law to request or submit an absentee ballot on behalf of another person.

Voters with questions about absentee voting should contact the County Election Board at 918-775-2614 or sequoyahcounty@elections.ok.gov or visit the state election board website at oklahoma.gov/elections.

The Sequoyah County Election Board is located at 110 E. Creek Ave. and is open from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday.
