A new service in the State of Oklahoma hopes to ensure that voters never miss another election.
As KOSU reports, the new alert system from the Oklahoma State Election Board will send out notices to interested voters whenever an election is around the corner. The service will also remind voters when it’s time to renew their annual absentee ballot requests.
State Election Board Secretary Paul Ziriax says he believes the system will make it easier for voters to remember to make their way to the polling place on Election Day.
Oklahoma has traditionally been notorious for low election-day turnout, especially during midterms and special elections.
The state election board hopes to reverse that trend with this new service. To subscribe to the service, Oklahoma voters should visit elections.ok.gov.
