Alva Review-Courier -

Voters will head to the polls on Tuesday, April 5, to decide a number of issues. The polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Woods County Election Board Secretary Holly Blevins recommends voters with questions about their eligibility or polling place call before Election Day.

“We provide a number of additional services to voters on Election Day, so it can get very busy. If you have any questions, we strongly suggest you call or come by the week before Election Day if possible. If you find that you do have a question on Election Day, however, don’t hesitate to call.”

Blevins says the State Election Board’s OK Voter Portal is the easiest way for voters to verify their registration or locate their polling place. The OK Voter Portal can be found at oklahoma.gov/elections/ovp.

The Woods County Election Board reminds voters to bring a current federal or Oklahoma state-issued photo ID, or federally-recognized tribal ID to their polling place. An official Voter Identification Card can also be used as proof of identity. If you forget your ID, you may still cast a provisional ballot by signing an affidavit. Provisional ballots will be verified and counted after Election Day and before the election is certified.

For questions, please contact the Woods County Election Board at 580-327-1452 or [email protected]. The County Election Board is located at 427 Barnes Ave., Suite 2. Office hours are 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., Monday through Friday.
