Tulsa County has over 260 precincts and county election officials say several hundred workers will be added to the precincts for this election.    

They said it is important to make sure they are adequately trained to make the voting process run smoothly.

"Because we have increased turnout on those elections, the normal turnout isn't that high but for a presidential election it may be very high 70, 75 percent of the number of voters in that precinct," said Patty Bryant, Tulsa County Election Board Secretary.
