We would like to extend our sincere thanks to ONEOK Field management and the Tulsa Drillers team for offering the voters of Tulsa County use of their location for this event. We are encouraging voters to wear masks and social distance while voting. Because we will be utilizing all available staff members to facilitate early voting at one large site, the Tulsa County Election Board will not be available for early voting but will be open for other business including in-person absentee ballot drop-off. Absentee ballots cannot be dropped off at ONEOK Field.
