Three days of early, in-person voting begins Thursday at county election board offices across the state.
Registered voters can cast their ballots from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Thursday and Friday, and from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, at their county election board office. The state previously offered early voting on Monday, but switched that day to Thursday to help local officials better prepare for Election Day on Tuesday.
Fewer than 50 percent of Oklahoma's 2 million registered voters are expected to vote in this year's general election.
Oklahoma Election Board officials say turnout is generally lower in non-presidential election years, and lower still when there is an incumbent governor.
A little more than 40 percent of registered voters cast ballots in 2006.
