Early voting begins Wednesday, Nov. 2 and continues through Saturday, for voters in Stephens County. Voters who will not be able to make it to the polls on Election Day have the option of voting early at their County Election Board.

Stephens County Election Board Secretary Angela Dunagan said early voting is open to all voters.

“You do not need to provide an excuse to vote early. Oklahoma allows early voting for all elections conducted by the County Election Board or State Election Board—from school board and municipal elections to state and federal elections. This is a great option for those who will be out of town on Election Day or who want to avoid long lines,” Dunagan said.

Early voting is available 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. It is also open 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, at the County Election Board located at 1075 West Elm Ave. in Duncan.

Early voting is not available at the courthouse. The county election board moved its headquarters into the old Duncan Banner news building and the main entrance is on the south side of the building, but early voters will need to use the back entrance, which is the door facing the west where there is plenty of parking available.

Voters who have questions, contact the Election Board at 580-255-8782 or email: stephenscounty@elections.ok.gov.
