Vote

Your vote counts! Vote in local, state, and federal elections.

Every vote matters, some Oklahoma elections in 2024 were decided by less than fifteen votes and one as few as three votes. Participating in local and state elections is extremely important, where critical decisions about funding for arts education, community programs, and cultural initiatives are often made.
