Trump is suing us about a bunch of stuff, but our absentee/mail-in ballot rules aren't one of them. All ballots in NM must be received by your county clerk by 7pm on Election Day in order to count. How often do you vote using an absentee/mail-in ballot?

NM's largest city couldn't quite decide on a mayor & a couple city council seats so now voters will cast another ballot to make the final decision. But don't worry, the process is easy by using the resources offered by the Bernalillo County Clerk and our Office. Visit berncoclerk.gov or NMVOTE.ORG

Local elections normally see lower voter participation, but these races impact your life and community just as much (if not way more) than the national elections that get all the coverage. Keep that in mind and cast your ballot today! Early voting open until Saturday. Election Day is Tuesday..

DID YOU KNOW? Public officials and candidates for public office in NM are eligible to keep their residential address confidential. Contact our office for more information.

Happy Labor Day!
