(Oklahoma City) – This week, the State Election Board mailed postcards to more than 71,000 voters requesting that they update their voter registration address, State Election Board Secretary Paul Ziriax announced. The postcards were mailed to voters who were identified by the U.S. Postal Service as having completed a National Change of Address Card within the past 12 months. Election officials say the effort helps ensure clean voter registration rolls and is part of the State Election Board’s regular voter list maintenance process.

Voters who receive the postcard should log into the OK Voter Portal to update their voter registration address or complete a paper Voter Registration Application and submit it to their County Election Board. A directory of county election boards is available on the State Election Board website.

Ziriax said it’s important that voters update their registration as soon as possible. “Next year is a big election year – with both state and federal offices on the ballot. We recommend that voters act now. Remember, if you have moved to a new address, you will need to update your voter registration,” said Ziriax. State law requires voters to register to vote at their place of residence.

Instructions for updating your registration and voter registration deadlines can be found on the State Election Board website. Voter list maintenance is required by both state and federal law.

This project was paid for by funds appropriated by the State Legislature pursuant to 26 O.S. § 4-118.1. Postcards were also mailed last year to voters who completed a National Change of Address Card.
