The Tulsa County Election Board confirmed Tuesday that certain voters were mistakenly turned away from casting their ballots.
Precinct 39 located at Memorial Drive Church of Christ, as well as “a few others," reportedly turned away Republicans, Democrats and Independent voters by mistake, reports the Tulsa County election board, from participating in the municipal election.
The board reported that precinct officials failed to read the instruction letter that states every City of Tulsa resident is permitted to vote in the municipal primary because it’s non-partisan.
