The 2024 general elections are here.

Millions of Americans have already cast their votes or are preparing to vote in a hotly contested presidential election. But it's not just the next US president on the ballot – Oklahomans will vote on judicial retention, four of five US representatives, state congressmen and two state questions.

If you're heading to the polls on Election Day, here's everything you need to know before you vote.

Polls will be open on Election Day, November 5, 2024, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. According to the Oklahoma State Election Board, lines at polling places are typically longest before and after work and during lunch breaks.

Any eligible voter in line at 7 p.m. can vote.

Anyone voting in person on Election Day must provide proof of identity.

Voters can choose between three options:

  • A valid photo ID issued by the federal, state, or tribal government
  • A voter ID card
  • Sign an affidavit and cast a provisional vote. If the information in the affidavit matches the official voter registration records, the ballot will be counted after Election Day

There are different types of postal voting, each with different requirements. A normal postal vote must be notarized. You can use the OK Voter Portal to track the status of your mail-in ballot, including when it was received by your county elections office.
