Bernalillo County’s main early voting site opened Tuesday at the clerk’s Annex on Lomas Boulevard, and County Clerk Michelle Kavanaugh was among the first to cast a ballot, KOB 4 reports.
In-person early voting for the Nov. 3 general election continues through Nov. 2. Kavanaugh said voters now have several ways to take part, and she encouraged people to vote before Election Day, when lines and conditions are harder to predict. The county clerk’s office has posted details about the start of early voting.
Tuesday was also the last day to register to vote online or by mail. Voters who want an absentee ballot must request one by Oct. 20, and completed absentee ballots must arrive by 7 p.m. on Election Day to be counted.
Election officials urged voters to plan ahead so they don’t miss a deadline or run into problems on Nov. 3, KOB 4 reported.
What's Next
Early in-person voting ends Nov. 2. Election Day is Nov. 3, and absentee ballots must be in by 7 p.m. that day.
Why It Matters
Absentee ballots that arrive after 7 p.m. on Election Day will not be counted.
