Voters line up to cast ballots shortly after precincts opened in Oklahoma City.

Happy Election Day, Oklahoma!

Couple reminders: Polls are open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. today. Boundaries were redrawn in 2011, so you should confirm your polling location before you get in line. (Don’t make the same mistake I did!)

We’re focusing our election coverage on ballot questions — Check out our 2012 Ballot Question Handbook for more — so check back for updates on Oklahoma’s six state questions and the big Vision2 ballot question in Tulsa County.

And we’ll be live on OETA from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. tonight to help provide coverage of state and national returns, and an analysis of impact on everyday Oklahomans.
