According to Jennifer Wil-

son , Secretary of Jackson

County Election Board, the

Presidential Preferential Prima-

ry is March 3.

Eligible voters may cast only

one ballot for the Presidential

Preferential Primary (PPP).

Voters must also be a registered

member of the party for which

they intend to cast a ballot. (For

example, Republicans may vote

in the Republican PPP. Demo-

crats may vote in the Demo-

cratic PPP.)

Independents are allowed to

vote in the Democratic PPP

only. The Democratic Party is

the only recognized party in

Oklahoma that currently allows

Independents to vote in its pri-

maries. Independents are de-

fined as voters registered with-

out a party affiliation.

The purpose of the Presiden-

tial Preferential Primary (PPP)

is to allow all recognized par-

ties in Oklahoma to send dele-

gates to their party’s national

convention. The delegates are

responsible for casting votes

for the candidates they are as-

signed to, which represent the

popular vote.

Each party is responsible for

choosing the Presidential candi-

date that will be on the ticket in

November.

If you are currently registered

to vote, you do not need to reg-

Madness will rule the day

Feb. 25 at the Oklahoma

Department of Wildlife

Conservation. That’s when

the wildly popular Rack

Madness trophy scoring

event will return for its

fourth year with plenty of

fun for everyone!

Rack Madness is a free

scoring event that wel-

comes people to bring in

their Oklahoma-harvested

deer or elk antlers, prong-

horn horns or black bear

skulls. Scoring will happen

on a first-come, first-served

basis from 9 AM to 7 PM

at Wildlife Department

headquarters, 1801 N. Lin-

coln Blvd. in Oklahoma

City. Pre-registration is

encouraged.

But the Madness isn’t

limited to just the scoring

frenzy.

Those who bring an item

for scoring will be entered

into Grand Prize drawings

and be eligible to win a

lifetime license provided

by the Oklahoma Wildlife

Conservation Foundation.

G Newscaster and avid

sportswoman Lacie Low-

ry of KWTV News9 is

scheduled to draw for the

Grand Prizes. The big win-

ner must be present to col-

lect the prize. The license

will be transferable if the

winner already has a life-

time license.

Everyone can enjoy free

buffalo chili and chips

starting at 11:30 AM, while

supplies last. Also, several

popular food trucks have

been invited to attend.

Other crazy attractions

for Rack Madness include:

Souvenir T-shirts on sale,

Giveaway drawings on the

hour, Free Outdoor Okla-

homa maga-

zine subscription to every-

one who pre-registers, Edu-

cational seminars, and Op-

eration Game Thief trailer,

featuring the Oklahoma

Wall of Shame.

Oklahoma animal mounts

will also be displayed in

the Department lobby.

And with all the big-

game hunters attending,

there will be ample oppor-

tunity to swap your best

hunting adventure stories

and brag about that mas-

sive buck that got away!

During last year’s Mad-

ness, scorers measured two

bear skulls, six pronghorns,

seven elk and 287 deer.

The Department hopes to

eclipse those Madness

numbers this year.

Qualifying scores for

whitetail and mule deer,

elk, pronghorn and black

bear will be added to

the Cy Curtis Awards Pro-

gram, Oklahoma’s official

record book for trophy har-

vests and the hunters who

took them. Only racks that

have undergone the re-

quired 60-day drying peri-

od will be eligible for offi-

cial scoring and award

recognition. Boone and

Crockett forms will be

available if requested.

Those wanting items to

be scored should pre-

register online through

the Go Outdoors Oklaho-

ma system. Just log in and

click “Register” to claim a

scoring time slot. Walk-ins

will be scored if time is

available.

Each person may bring

two items for scoring. All

antlers must be clean and

attached to the skull plate,

whether mounted or un-

mounted. Animal heads

that are in any raw condi-

tion (deadheads) are not

allowed.
