Last Minute Voting Info

From NMPIRG: Perhaps you've already tuned out all the news coverage and campaign commercials, but with the election here tomorrow, here's one message you shouldn't miss: VOTE ON NOVEMBER 2!

To help make the process easy and hassle free, here is some need-to-know information:

1. Where to vote - call the Secretary of State's office at 1.800.477.3632 or your County Clerk's.

You can also find your County Clerk's number on: https://www.sos.state.nm.us/

2. When to vote - Polling places are open from 7 AM to 7 PM. If you are in line to vote by 7 PM, you must be allowed to vote.

If you are worried about long lines, try going to the polls during off hours, 10 AM to 11:30 AM and 1:30 PM to 3:30 PM.

3. What to take - Some ID and this number: 1.866.OUR.VOTE

If this is your first time voting and you registered by mail, you will need ID when you head to the polls. Take your driver's license or other picture ID. If the address doesn't match the place where you are registered, bring a paycheck, utility bill or government document that does.

1.866.OUR.VOTE is the number to call if you have any problems on Election Day. If you need advice on how to deal with any issues you're having at your polling place, call that number and you'll get to talk to a lawyer or trained staff person who will talk you through your problem.

Happy Voting! Forward this email on to your family and friends and remind them to also make their voices heard!

Sincerely,

Jeanne Bassett
