TULSA COUNTY, Okla. — Early voting began on Wednesday in Oklahoma and the State Election Board said more than 200,000 people have already voted early.

In Tulsa County, 13,381 people have cast their ballot over the first two days of early voting.

On Thursday, 6,867 people cast early ballots in Tulsa County.

The line to vote early wrapped around the building at the new Tulsa County Election Board headquarters near 11th Street and I-44 in east Tulsa.

“Got to vote! Got to vote early! Got to vote often,” said one voter.

Voters said they would still show up and stand in line, rain or shine, to cast their ballots.

Another voter said, “as a citizen, you know I feel it’s very important.”

Voters in line on Thursday said to not let the length of the line scare them away from early voting.

Early voting continues on Friday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. and on Saturday from 8 p.m. to 2 p.m.
