Registered voters who become physically incapacitated after 5:00 p.m. Monday, October 21 st 2024 and are unable make it to the polls, still have an opportunity to cast their ballot.
Washita County Election Board Secretary Assistant Ashton Hymer , said that state law permits voters who become emergency incapacitated after 5:00 p.m. Monday, October 21 st 2024 to vote under special provisions. Hymer 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. October 21 st 2024 , contact your County Election Board as soon as possible. Hymer said Election Board officials will work with you to make sure you have all of the necessary information to cast your ballot.
