Election Day is tomorrow, here's what you need to know

Oklahomans will take to the polls Tuesday for the statewide primaries. The state’s approximately 2000 polling places will be open from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.

The State Election Board has worked with the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center to develop safety protocols for all polling places and county election boards. Poll workers at every location have been supplied with personal protective equipment including hand sanitizer, gloves, masks, and disinfectant.

Voters are asked to be patient and follow signage and procedures. While it is not required, the State Election Board strongly recommends that voters wear a mask to protect themselves and those around them.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, some polling places may have changed. Voters are strongly encouraged to verify their voting location before heading the polls. Lines at the polls are typically longest before work, during the lunch hour, and after work.

Oklahoma law requires every voter who votes in person to show proof of identity before receiving a ballot. Voters may provide a valid photo ID issued by the federal, state, or tribal government, or the free voter identification card issued to every voter by their County Election Board. They may also sign an affidavit and vote with a provisional ballot.

Oklahoma has closed primaries, however the Democratic Party has elected to open its elections to Independents. Republicans and Libertarian primaries remain closed.

All voters will get to cast a ballot on State Question No. 802. Here is the full text of the measure:

Medicaid is a government-sponsored health insurance program for qualifying low-income persons. This measure would add a provision to the Oklahoma Constitution requiring the State to expand Medicaid coverage. The expanded coverage would include certain persons over 18 and under 65 who are not already covered and whose annual income, as calculated under federal law, is at or below 133% of the federal poverty line. The federal poverty line changes annually, but for example if this measure were in effect in 2019, the measure generally would have covered a single adult making less than $17,236 annually and adults in a family of four making less than $35,535 annually. Under this measure, the State cannot create additional restrictions that make it more difficult to qualify for expanded Medicaid coverage than it is to qualify for the Medicaid program currently in place. The Medicaid program is funded jointly by the federal government and the State. This measure would require the Oklahoma Health Care Authority (OHCA) to try to maximize federal funding for Medicaid expansion in Oklahoma. If the measure is approved, OHCA has 90 days to submit all documents necessary to obtain federal approval for implementing Medicaid expansion by July 1, 2021. SHALL THE PROPOSAL BE APPROVED?
