General Election voter registration, vote by mail and polling places

Early voting

Voters can first cast ballots in person at the Santa Fe County clerk’s office on Oct. 11, 100 Catron St. Voting hours are 8 am-5 pm, Mon-Fri and 10 am-6 pm on Saturday, Nov. 5. Santa Fe County voters may also visit any alternate voting locations beginning the third Saturday before the election, Oct. 22, through the Saturday before the election, Nov. 5. Voting hours are noon-8 pm, Tues-Fri and 10 am-6 pm, Saturdays.

In Santa Fe: Christian Life Church, 121 Siringo Road; Santa Fe County Fair Building, 3229 Rodeo Road; Southside Library, 6599 Jaguar Drive

Out of town: Max Coll Corridor Community Center, 16 Avenida Torreon, Eldorado; Pojoaque Satellite Office, 5 W. Gutierrez Ste. 9; Plaza Abedon Lopez Comm. Center, 155 Camino De Quintana, Española; Town of Edgewood Administration Building, 171A NM-344, Edgewood

Register to vote

Register by mail and online before Oct. 11 or use same-day registration at the county clerk’s office through Election Day, and at Election Day polling places and expanded early voting sites.

First-time voters must submit a copy of a photo ID or official documents with their name and address. If the required documents aren’t submitted with a first-time registration, voters need to show one of those forms of ID when voting. For examples of accepted forms of ID, see the secretary of state’s website.

Vote by mail

First, request an absentee ballot by mail or online via nmvote.org and return it to the clerk’s office. Mailed ballots will first be sent to voters on Oct. 11. Then, fill out your ballot when it arrives and return it to a drop box, alternative voting location or via the mail.

County clerks must receive applications for absentee ballots no later than Nov. 3 (which would be cutting it very close with the United States Postal Service.)

Polls are open on Tuesday, Nov. 8 from 7 am-7 pm. Voters may choose any location.
