GET OUT THE VOTE (GOTV)
Learn about efforts to increase the voter turnout in Tulsa elections.
“Sometimes we have to do the work even though we don't yet see a glimmer on the horizon that it's actually going to be possible.”
-- Angela Y. Davis
WHAT IS GOTV?
GOTV stands for "Get Out the Vote" or "Getting Out the Vote", which describes efforts aimed at increasing the voter turnout in elections.
In places that do not have or enforce compulsory voting, voter turnout can be very low due to a number of reasons. This is seen in our country, state, county, city and school board elections. When this happens, a portion of the voters are responsible for electing someone who make decisions for the rest of the voting body.
There are plenty of ways you can get involved. You can register to vote if you haven’t already. You can educate yourself on voting laws, schedules, what you're voting on and who you’re voting for. And as mentioned, you can bring someone with you to the polls when you vote.
Where to start:
The Oklahoma State Election Board website serves as a hub and portal. You can visit: https://oklahoma.gov/elections.html.
How to register to vote:
On the Oklahoma State Election Board website, you’ll see a Voter Registration tab. Here you can download a voter registration application, cancel your registration, request a new ID card, view recognized political parties or change your party affiliation.
How to find out when elections happen:
On the Oklahoma State Election Board website, go to the “Elections & Results” page, click on the “Next Election” link, then the “2025 Election Calendar” link. This will take you to a list of dates and times elections are held.
How to find your polling place:
The OK Voter Portal will help you find your polling location & view a sample ballot for your precinct. Polls are open 7:00 am to 7:00 pm.
How to find what Tulsa City Council Precinct you live in & who your city councilor is:
You can visit http://www.tulsacouncil.org/ for information about the Tulsa City Council. On the home page, you’ll see a button titled “District Finder”. This will take you to an interactive tool that lets you type in an address, and find out what District you’re in, who your City Councilor is and a link to the District Website.
