The Stephens County Election Board offers special services to military and overseas voters along with their spouses and dependents, making it easier for them to vote. All eligible applicants must complete a Federal Post Card Application (FPCA) in order to access benefits.
“We encourage applicants to complete the Federal Post Card Application, which is available through the government Federal Voting Assistance Program. The application serves as both a voter registration application and an absentee ballot application,” Stephens County Election Board Secretary Shawnda Seely said.
The federal absentee ballot application is valid through two consecutive federal, general elections and must be renewed. It is recommended that military and overseas voters, along with their eligible family members, review their registration at least once a year to ensure their registration and absentee ballot application are current.
Military personnel and their families should contact the Voting Services Officer in their unit for information. Residents of Oklahoma living overseas can obtain the same materials from any United States military installation and from United States Embassies and Consulates. Both parties can also access forms and information online through the Federal Voting Assistance Program at fvap.gov.
Contact information for the Stephens County Election Board can be found on the fvap.gov website. Voters with questions can also contact the County Election Board at (580) 255-8782 Monday through Friday 8:30 am to 4:30 pm, or email StephensCounty@elections.ok.gov
