Oklahoma voters took advantage of early voting in record numbers ahead of Tuesday’s general election.
Nearly 293,000 in-person early votes were cast from Wednesday through Saturday, in the first general election since the state expanded early voting to four days. That easily surpasses early voting numbers from previous elections, including during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.
A deeper look at the numbers show Republicans with the early vote advantage, with about 182,000 ballots cast. Democrats notched about 74,000 votes, Independents numbered about 34,000 and Libertarians had around 1,500.
Today was the fourth and final day of in-person absentee voting (aka early voting). Over four days, more than 292,000 early voted, a new Oklahoma record!
