俄克拉荷马女子被控非法投票 戴电子脚镣期间投票引质疑
据《俄克拉荷马人报》10月2日报道，萨拉·波尔斯顿（Sara Polston）被控非法投票，原因是她在重罪缓刑期间、佩戴电子脚镣的情况下仍前往投票站投票。
俄克拉荷马州法律规定，被判重罪者在刑期（含缓刑）执行完毕前不具备投票资格。检方指控波尔斯顿明知自己无投票资格仍投票，构成重罪。波尔斯顿方面尚未公开回应指控。
选举诚信问题近年来在俄克拉荷马州备受关注，州议会去年还通过了加强选民身份核验的法案。此案的特殊之处在于，当事人佩戴着显眼的电子脚镣仍进入投票站，投票站工作人员当时并未察觉其资格问题。
州选举委员会提醒，有重罪记录的公民应在投票前向县选举办公室确认自己的投票资格是否已恢复。刑满后符合条件的公民可申请恢复投票权，具体流程可咨询县选举办公室。
Oklahoma Woman Charged With Illegal Voting While Wearing Ankle Monitor
Sara Polston was charged October 2 with illegal voting in Oklahoma after casting a ballot while on felony probation and wearing an ankle monitor, The Oklahoman reported.
Oklahoma law bars people convicted of felonies from voting until their sentences, including probation, are fully discharged. Prosecutors allege Polston voted knowing she was ineligible — a felony. She has not publicly responded.
Election integrity has drawn close attention in Oklahoma in recent years; lawmakers passed a voter-ID verification bill last year. What makes this case unusual is that Polston entered the polling place wearing a conspicuous ankle monitor, yet poll workers did not flag her eligibility.
The state election board reminds citizens with felony records to confirm their eligibility with county offices before voting. Those who have completed their sentences may apply to restore voting rights; county election offices can explain the process.
