Oklahoma Election Board on Track to Send Out Ballots
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) -- Oklahoma troops stationed around the world and other overseas voters should be getting their absentee ballots soon to vote in November's general election.
Oklahoma State Election Board Secretary Paul Ziriax (ZEER'-iks) said Wednesday that county election boards across the state are on schedule to meet the Sept. 21 deadline to send out absentee ballots to overseas voters. The ballots were printed last week and delivered to county election boards on Monday.
New federal guidelines require election board officials to send absentee ballots to overseas voters at least 45 days prior to the election. County election boards must send absentee ballots within 48 hours to overseas voters who apply for them after the 45-day deadline. The deadline for voters to request an absentee ballot for the general election is Oct. 31.

Fallin signs bill to spend $45M on tornado relief
May 24, 2013 19:07 GMT
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) -- Gov. Mary Fallin has signed a bill that will allow the state to access $45 million from the state's Rainy Day Fund to help communities recover from tornado damage.
Fallin on Friday signed a bill that the House and Senate passed unanimously in the wake of the deadly tornado that raked across the state on Monday, killing 24 people and injuring hundreds more.
It allows the state to use the money to match federal disaster funds and for other "disaster-related assistance."
The state's Rainy Day Fund, a constitutional reserve fund, currently has a balance of about $577 million. Up to 25 percent of the money can be accessed to pay for emergency-related expenses. The rest is reserved for when the state experiences budget shortfalls.
