(Updated) Voting: Other Ways to Find Your 2/5/08 NM Caucus Site
UPDATE 2/5/08: From Bernalillo County Clerk Maggie Toulouse Oliver:
In regard to the removal of the "Where do I Vote?" tool on the County Clerk's website:
The Bernalillo County Clerk's office is working diligently to assist the Democratic Party with today's caucus.
In the preceding weeks we've received multiple complaints regarding the fact that the tool does not refer voters to their Caucus website. The tool is based on our voter registration system, which only allows us to enter polling locations when we are conducting elections. Since the state Democratic Party is conducting this election, we are not able to use the tool in the same way. If a voter accessed the "Where do I Vote?" tool recently, it gave them information about how to vote in the September, 2007 CNM election.
Needless to say, this was confusing to voters.
We temporarily removed the tool from our website in order to reduce the confusion. In it's place, we put a link to the State Democratic Party website.
Voters may contact our office at 468-1291 to find out their precinct and polling location. Phones will be answered until polls close at 7 PM.
**************
I'm hearing that many people are having a hard time finding where to vote in the NM Democratic Presidential Preference Caucus tomorrow because Dem Party phone lines and website pages are overwhelmed at times. I also noticed the tool to find your precinct number is down or removed from the Bernalillo County Clerk's Office website, and you need your precinct number to find your caucus site. An easy solution is to the use the tool at the Obama New Mexico page. Just type in your info here. Granted, you'll get on the campaign's mailing list whether you're a supporter or not, but at this point it might be your best bet. Various alternative links are listed on the left-hand sidebar near the top of the page on DFNM.
Update: You can also go to here and look yourself up. It'll list your Precinct number next to "Polling place." Then go to the State Party site (which seems to be working ok) and see which polling place your Precinct is assigned to. I was originally directing people to a League of Women Voters site but have since learned it doesn't alway return the right voting place for this particular election.

The League of Women Voters tool doesn't seem to be working for some NM addresses. You can also go to https://voterview.state.nm.us/ and look yourself up. It'll list your Precinct number next to "Polling place". Then go to https://www.nmdemocrats.org/ht/d/sp/i/1122561/pid/1122561 (which seems to be working ok) and see which polling place your Precinct is assigned to.

My questionn is why doesn't the state democratic party page have a simple tool where people can look up their precincts? It's not rocket science.

How obnoxious that Bernalillo County took down the tool today that everyone has been referring people to in order for find their precincts. I know the Democratic Party is running the election but the county left people in the lurch with no warning. Bah.

Nancy: Where did you get the info that people can vote at any site? I've never heard of that and I'm not convinced it is accurate. Are you talking about using a provisional ballot? I'm not sure that would be a good idea at all.
I think people should vote where they are supposed to vote. If people could vote at any precinct I'm sure the information provided by the State Party would say so and it doesn't.

Just so everyone knows, we removed the "Where do I Vote" tool from the Clerk's website because it was confusing people. The tool is based off our voter registration system, where we plug in polling places during an election. Our last election was the September CNM election. Since the Party is running this election, we were not able to do the same thing this time around. Hence, we disabled the tool. We are providing a link to the Party website and if anyone calls our office at 505-468-1291 we will give them their precinct and polling location.
