Candidate and Ballot Information: LWVNM Voter Guide

The League of Women Voters promotes informed and active participation of citizens in government and produces non-partisan, comprehensive Voter Guides. The League of Women Voters does not support, oppose, or make recommendations regarding any political party or candidate. To help voters make informed choices, the League of Women Voters interviews candidates for most of the competitive races on key issues and prints their unedited responses. Summaries of proposed constitutional amendments and other ballot questions are also included in Voter Guides.

Registering to Vote

Who’s eligible to vote in New Mexico?

A U.S. citizen who is a New Mexico resident and at least 18 years old on Election Day.
Someone who has not been denied the right to vote by a court of law because of mental incapacity.
A person who is not a convicted felon or is a felon who has completed all of the terms and conditions of sentencing

You can register to vote online at the NM Secretary of State website.

Supply your social security number, your driver’s license number or state identification number, and your date of birth, and you’re done. Online registration is safe, quick, and accurate.
Normally, you can also register at your county clerk’s office, at a New Mexico Motor Vehicle Division (MVD) site or public assistance or health office, or through a third-party registrar, but the pandemic has brought uncertainty. You can also print the national voter registration form online, fill it out and mail to the Secretary of State or your county clerk.

Newly registered voters who submitted the registration form by mail will need to submit some proof of ID when they vote:

a current or expired New Mexico state identification; or
a current utility bill, bank statement, government check, paycheck, student identification card or other government document, including identification issued by an Indian nation, tribe or pueblo that shows your name and current address.

Already registered?

Confirm that your current voter registration is up-to-date and your social security number is correct.
