Early voting begins Wednesday, Oct. 30 for voters in Canadian County. Voters who will not be able to make it to the polls on Election Day have the option of voting early at the county election board.

Canadian County Election Board Secretary Allen Arnold said early voting is open to all voters. 

“You do not need to provide an excuse to vote early. Oklahoma allows early voting for all elections conducted by the county election board or state election board — from school board and municipal elections to state and federal elections.

Under a rule adopted by the Oklahoma Secondary School Activities Association (OSSAA), students who attend a summer sports camp are barred from playing any sports for a year if they move into a district that employs a coach who also worked those camps during the summer months.

State Rep. Jon Echols, an Oklahoma City Republican who is also an attorney, says lawsuits are likely and views the OSSAA’s new rule as an effort to undermine Oklahoma’s open-transfer law, which allows students to attend any public school district that has space available.
