It's expected to be another busy day for early voting across Oklahoma as thousands of people line up to cast their votes ahead of Tuesday's election.

According to the state election board, nearly 162,000 Oklahomans have voted early so far, both by mail-in ballots and voting in person.

In Tulsa County, the election board is encouraging people to go to the new location near I-44 and 11th Street. Officials say there is more parking and more space to allow for people to come in and vote quickly.

On Wednesday, the Tulsa County Election Board reported that workers processed about 600 ballots an hour.

People started lining up as early as 6 a.m. Wednesday and the lines eventually wrapped around the building and down the street. Traffic became an issue as long lines built up as people tried to find parking.

Gwen Freeman from the Tulsa County Election Board mentioned reports of electioneering. "We remind folks that if you're going to come early vote or on election day if you're going to vote then please do not wear political paraphernalia that includes pens, shirts, hats, that sort of thing, this is a political free zone so that and it's again the law. Keep your political signs a distance from these voting locations. These are things we have to enforce under Oklahoma law."

Early voting begins at 8 a.m. and goes until 6 p.m. Thursday and Friday. The election board wants to remind folks that as long as you are in line by 6 p.m., you will still be allowed to vote, even if it's past that deadline.
