A friendly reminder that we’re nearing the Oklahoma state primary elections on Tuesday, June 28th. Polling places will be open from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. on the day of the election. If you requested an absentee ballot and haven’t turned it in yet, they must be received, not postmarked by 7:00 PM on the day of the election. In addition, “standard” absentee ballots can be hand delivered to your county election board, but must be received by the end of the business day the Monday before the election, along with a valid proof of I.D.

For information about candidates, polling locations, I.D. options, and other questions you may have, visit the Oklahoma State Election Board’s website here.

Buddy Broncho

Buddy Broncho made his first appearance in UCO's own newspaper The Vista. It was the October 3, 1932, issue where a Broncho appears wearing a UCO football uniform. He has appeared numerous times throughout the years from local Edmond papers in the 60's to state-wide papers in the 80's. The commissioning of the first ever live mascot appears in UCO's 1979 Bronze Book where Buddy Broncho made his first public appearance at Homecoming. Since that time, Buddy has been a fixture at UCO events and in the hearts of UCO students.
