At least seven Oklahoma public school districts, including the state's two largest, have scheduled an off day for Nov. 6 in order to encourage teachers and staff to vote in that day's elections, which include most statewide seats like governor and state superintendent, along with many state House and Senate seats.

Following a two-week teacher walkout in April, many educators said they were turning their attention to the 2018 elections and supporting pro-public education candidates.

Some of those teachers encouraged their districts to move one of its off days to Nov. 6 as a way to support higher voter turnout.

"I was completely for it," said Chelsea Cruse, a government and politics teacher at Woodward High School, which will be off on Nov. 6.
