Tom Davis
As Republicans and Other Conservatives-Washington County approach a busy month, Quinn Schipper from ROC-WC, our guest on COMMUNITY CONNECTION, highlighted several key events and updates are on the horizon, promising engaging discussions and critical insights into local governance and elections.
Election Integrity and Primary Elections
The next Community Connection meeting, scheduled for Tuesday, August 6, from 6:30 to 7:45 PM at Crossing 2nd, will focus on election integrity. Yvonne House and Andrea Conner, Assistant Secretary of the Washington County Election Board, are expected to discuss the results of the recent State Election Board audit, which, like previous audits, reported perfect results. The deadline to register or change party affiliation is August 2, which might be a crucial topic for attendees.
Per the Election Board, party affiliation cannot be changed between April 1 and August 31. ROC-WC apologizes for the unintended misinformation in today’s program.
However, the Election Board deadline to change an address, a name, or to register to vote for the first time is August 2.
To make changes or to register, contact the Washington County Election Board or visit the Oklahoma State Election Board website.
