Let's Get Out the Vote!
Let’s Get Out the Vote!
The New Mexico Democratic Party is launching a very smart phone-banking campaign to call Democrats throughout the state about the availability of voting by absentee ballot, and how easy it is. Our county party has stepped up to support this effort.
The New Mexico primary election is 5 weeks away, on June 2, 2020. With Covid-19 still present in our community, for many of us, if not all of us, it is ill-advised to go to the polls and vote in person.
Fortunately, we can vote by absentee ballot. The NM Secretary of State, and our County Clerk, have prepared for a high volume of absentee ballots. We can make certain that there is a high volume of ballots cast, and that they are from registered Democrats. That is why we are asking for your help!

New Mexico’s Primary Election is scheduled for June 2, 2020.
Any and all New Mexican voters can request an absentee ballot.
Here’s some information from the New Mexico Secretary of State’s website:
When? May 5, 2020 is when mailed ballots will be sent to those eligible New Mexico voters who requested them. A mailed ballot must be requested no later than May 28, 2020.
Who? Any eligible New Mexican voter can request an absentee ballot. We have what’s known as a “no-fault” absentee ballot process here in New Mexico which just means that any eligible voter can securely request an absentee ballot.
How? There are two ways to request an absentee ballot.
- Request an absentee ballot through the Secretary of State’s online portal here.
- Contact your County Clerk in person, by phone, by mail, or by email. Contact info for all 33 New Mexico County Clerks can be found on the NM SOS website here. NOTE: A mailed ballot must be requested no later than May 28, 2020.
Vote by absentee ballot. Stay Home, Stay Safe, and Help Flatten the Curve in New Mexico!
Democratic vision, Democratic values
We stand with Democrats across New Mexico in our belief that every person matters. We believe all citizens should have an equal voice in how we as a people are governed, without undue influence by rich and powerful special interests.
We work for the 99%, and affirm the ties that bind us together as one human family.
These beliefs and many more important principles are presented in the Platform of the Democratic Party of New Mexico, which we fully support.

A Memorial Day Like No Other
