Registered voters who become physically incapacitated after 5:00 p.m. Monday, January 29 th and are unable 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. Monday, January 29 th 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. January 29 th , contact your County Election Board as soon as possible. Maddux said Election Board officials will work with you to make sure you have all of the necessary information to cast your ballot.
