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.
