Mandatory redistricting efforts have caused some precinct boundaries to change. As a result, some voters will be assigned to new polling places, Sharon Steele, Le Flore County Election Board Secretary announced.
Precinct boundary lines must be evaluated every ten years following the redistricting of congressional, legislative, and county commissioner districts. Redistricting occurs following the federal census to ensure that the population in the various districts is equal.
Steele said- new Voter Identification cards, along with polling place information, will be mailed to all voters affected by the new precinct lines. Voters can also use the OK Voter Portal
oklahoma.gov/elections/ovp to find their polling place information. Polling place changes will become effective immediately.
Voters with questions should contact the LeFlore County Election Board at 918-647-3701 or leflorecounty@elections.ok.gov.
The LeFlore County Election Board is located at 103 N. Church St., Poteau and is open from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday.
