NMcd2 - Information for Democrats in New Mexico’s 2nd Congressional District
The weeks ahead:
This is the last week to
Vote Early!
Lines at the polling places seem to be shorter than they were the first couple of weeks of early voting. Vote now to avoid November 3rd crowds. Due to postal slowdowns, if you are voting absentee, we suggest you hand-deliver your ballot to either of the early voting locations. The process will probably take less than a minute! You may also bring your absentee ballot to any polling place on November 3rd.
Returning and tracking
your absentee ballot
Early voting now in progress at the County Building and the Bayard Community Center.
Early voting and same-day registration end Saturday, October 31!
