Election Board reports high voter registrations

Garvin County voters are reminded they have until Friday to register to vote if they want to be able to cast a ballot in next month’s presidential primary election here in Oklahoma.

Officials here are reporting the registration activity has been high in recent days at the Garvin County Election Board office in Pauls Valley, which appears to match up with a trend now being experienced in other states holding primaries for the top office.

“All week long we’ve had a steady flow of people registering to vote in the presidential primary,” said Melanie Porter, Garvin County Election Board Secretary.

Applications are available at the Election Board or any tag agency and must be postmarked by midnight Friday if that voter is going to be allowed to vote in the Feb. 5 election.
