Press Release

Registered voters who become physically incapacitated after 5:00 p.m. Tuesday, November 1st and cannot make it to the polls, still have an opportunity to cast their ballot.

Roger Mills County Election Board Secretary, Jana Maddux, said that state law permits voters who become emergency incapacitated after 5:00 p.m. Tuesday, November 1st to vote under special provisions. Maddux said emergency incapacitation is something most voters don’t think about.

Voting is our constitutional right, but life happens. Injury, illness, or even childbirth can prevent a voter from being able to go to the polls. That’s why it’s important to make sure voters know their rights in the event of an emergency.”

If you or someone you know becomes physically incapacitated after 5:00 p.m. November 1st, contact your County Election Board as soon as possible. Maddux says Election Board officials will work with you to make sure you have all of the necessary information to cast your ballot. Forms and information can also be found on the Oklahoma State Election Board website at oklahoma.gov/elections.

The Roger Mills County Election Board is located at 503 E. Broadway, Cheyenne, Ok and is open from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. Election Board officials can be reached at 1-833-638-7999 ex. 7 or by email at rogermillscounty@elections.ok.gov.
