2020 election set records, Ziriax says

OKLAHOMA CITY – “I am delighted about the enthusiasm and engagement shown by Oklahoma voters in this election,” State Election Board Secretary Paul Ziriax said Wednesday.

“We saw a surge in voter registrations, set a record for mail absentee ballots and in-person absentee ‘early’ votes, and had heavy turnout on Election Day. Oklahoma voters set a record for the most votes ever cast for President in the history of our state.

“Considering this was a Presidential General Election conducted during a pandemic, one week after a major ice storm, with a record level of voter participation, it went fairly smoothly.”
