Applications postmarked after that time will be accepted, but will not be processed until after the October 12 Election. Applications may also be submitted to any motor vehicle agency that is also an official voter registration agency by the submission deadline.
Applicants will be notified in writing when their application has been processed. Approved voters will receive a Voter Identification Card in the mail. Some may receive a letter that explains the reason or reasons the application was not approved. Maddux said those who do not receive a response within 30 days of submitting their application should contact the County Election Board office immediately.
The Roger Mills County Election Board reminds voters that applications must be approved by the County Election Board Secretary in order to vote.
