Some Oklahoma voters to receive address confirmation notices
The Oklahoma State Election board announced this week some voters in Oklahoma will soon receive an address confirmation notice. According to State Election Board Secretary Paul Ziriax, the notices are routine in nature and required under state law to confirm if voters still reside at their addresses the county election board has on file for them. While not every voter will receive an address confirmation notice, those who do will have 60 days to respond and confirm their address. Voters who receive the notice but do not respond at the end of the time frame will receive an 'inactive' status. That means those 'inactive' voters will be removed from the rolls after the 2028 general election, Ziriax said, but that status can be reversed. To reverse the inactive status and avoid removal, voters must either update their registration or vote in any election on or before the 2028 general election, Ziriax said. Responding to the notice as quickly as possible helps keep the voter rolls up to date, Ziriax said. 'It takes just a couple of minutes to confirm or update your registration,' Ziriax said. 'The easiest way to respond is online through the OK Voter Portal. You can also fill out the card and mail it back to us – postage paid.' Voters receiving the confirmation notice are selected for various reasons, including if they had a first-class mailing returned as undeliverable, duplicate registration in this state or another and if they haven't voted or updated registration through the 2022 and 2024 election cycles. For more information, visit the State Election Board website at or voters can also contact their county election board.
