When voting in person you will need proof of identification:
Proof of identity documents for voting must have been issued by the United States government, the State of Oklahoma, or a federally recognized tribal government.
The document used for proof of identity for voting must contain the following information:
Examples include:
If you do not have proof of identity, you may only vote by provisional ballot. When you cast a provisional ballot you will be required to fill out and sign an affidavit swearing or affirming you are the person identified on the precinct voter registry. Your provisional ballots will be sealed inside a special envelope and not put through the voting device.
After election day, County Election Board officials will review the information you provided on the affidavit and if it matches your voter registration information they will count your ballot. If the information you provided does not match your voter registration information your vote will be rejected.
