Washington County Election Board Secretary Yvonne House said Friday, April 19 is the last day to apply for voter registration in order to be eligible to vote in the May 14, Special Municipal for the City of Dewey.

House said that persons who are United States Citizens, residents of Oklahoma and at least 18 years of age, may apply to become registered voters.

Persons who have never been registered to vote before or who are registered but need to change their name or address may do so by filling out and mailing an Oklahoma Voter Registration Application Form in time for it to be postmarked no later than Midnight, Friday, April 19.

Application forms are available at the County Election Board Office located at 420 S Johnstone, and all post offices, public libraries, tag agencies and State Election Board website at www.elections.ok.gov. House stated that April 19 is a county holiday and the Election Board office will be closed.

The County Election Board will respond in writing to each person who submits an application for voter registration.  The response will be either a voter identification card listing the new voter’s precinct number and polling place location or a letter that explains the reason or reasons the application for voter registration was not approved.  House said that any person who has submitted a voter registration application and who has not received a response should contact the County Election Board Office.
