Thousands of voters registered in weeks before deadline
Almost 12,000 Oklahomans turned in voter registration forms in the past two weeks, according to the Oklahoma State Election Board.
That number is expected to change next week as last-minute registrations arrive by mail at the board's Oklahoma City office.
"Those (numbers) fluctuate," said Election Board Secretary Paul Ziriax. "A lot of the registrations are county transfers; they're registering in a new county and then they end up a few days later getting deleted in their old county. They're always bouncing around."
The deadline to turn in or postmark voter registration forms was Friday. Voter forms submitted after the deadline won't be processed until after the Nov. 6 election.
