Ahead of next Tuesday’s Osage County Primary Election, the Election Board Secretary Kelly Choteau wants residents to make sure they know what to do heading into the voting booth.

Polls will be open from 7 in the morning until 7 in the evening and it is important to fill in their ballots with either blue or black ballpoint ink. Choteau adds that if a mistake is made while filling out their ballots, the voter should return said ballot and get a new one.

Choteau also says it is important for residents to bring their voter I.D. Card to make it easier for the precinct officials to find names on the Precinct Registry. Choteau also said the best time to show up is mid-morning or mid-afternoon, as that is usually the two slowest time periods.

Anyone in line at 7 p.m. will be eligible to vote. For more information, contact the Osage County Election Board at 918-287-3036 or e-mail OsageCounty@elections.ok.gov.
