2020 General Election Postponed
We have received several calls and emails from concerned tribal members and tribal elders that are unable to get out of their homes due to the “Shelter in Place” order issued by the State of Oklahoma.
It is important during this Covid-19 Pandemic that we protect our tribal members, elders, our children/grandchildren, ourselves and our communities.
Due to the confirmed case of Covid-19 in Anadarko and the Town/City of Emergency issued by Anadarko, Apache, and Fort Cobb, the Election Board has no option but to postpone the April 4, 2020, General Election until further notice.
We are also unable to use the buildings for our polling sites due to the Town/City of Emergency issued by Anadarko, Apache, and Fort Cobb. Not only would we not have buildings for our polling sites for voting, but we would also be in violation of the Town/City of Emergency orders issued by Anadarko, Apache and Fort Cobb.
We feel it is very important at this time that we follow all orders issued by the State, City, and Towns to help protect everyone and stop the spreading of the Covid-19 virus.
As soon as we can resume the General Election, we will let everyone know. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Apache Election Board 405-659-8805.
