Oklahoma City, OK — Nearly 500,000 Oklahomans have been quietly removed from the voter rolls since 2021, and many don’t even know it. The Oklahoma Democratic Party is urging everyone to check their registration status now to ensure they are still eligible to vote in upcoming elections.
“Imagine showing up on Election Day, ready to vote, and being told you can’t because your name was purged from the rolls,” said Chairwoman Alicia Andrews of the Oklahoma Democratic Party. “This isn’t just about this election—it’s about protecting your right to vote moving forward. We need every Oklahoman to check their status today."
What’s Happening?
–Since 2021, nearly 500,000 voters have been removed from Oklahoma’s voter rolls.
–Almost 200,000 of those voters were purged simply for not voting recently.
–Many won’t realize they’ve been purged until they try to vote, but by then, it may be too late.
Why It Matters
Voter purging is happening now and will affect elections beyond this November. It disproportionately impacts people who may not vote regularly—individuals with busy schedules, single parents, older voters, and people with disabilities.
“You shouldn’t lose your right to vote simply because you haven’t used it in every election,” Andrews added. “It’s time to check your status and make sure you’re still registered, because your vote matters in every election, not just this one.”
Take Action Now
The Oklahoma Democratic Party urges all Oklahomans to visit StopThePurge.com to check their voter registration status. The process is quick and simple, and if you’ve been purged, there’s still time to re-register before the October 11th deadline for the November election.
“Don’t wait until it’s too late,” Andrews said. “Check your registration today, so you can vote tomorrow.”
