Registered New Mexico voters can now request an absentee ballot for the 2024 General Election by visiting the New Mexico Voter Information Portal NMVote.org.
“Every vote counts,” said Sandoval County Clerk Anne Brady-Romero said. “We are here to help our voters cast their ballots securely and efficiently, and in a manner that is most comfortable and convenient to them. Voting options include absentee ballot, early voting and Election Day.”
Once voters make an online request for an absentee ballot, the ballots are mailed to the voter.
Completed ballots can be submitted in the following ways:
• Mailed or dropped off at the County Clerk’s Office.
• Dropped off at a designated drop box at the Placitas Community Library or the County Administration Complex located at 1500 Idalia Road in Bernalillo.
• Dropped off in person at a polling site during either early voting or Election Day voting.
Voters are reminded that the deadline to request an Absentee Ballot is Tuesday, October 22. If the ballot is mailed back, voters should allow 7 – 10 days for the ballot to be delivered to the County Clerk’s Office. General Election Day is Tuesday, November 5.
Brady-Romero says it is now possible for voters to voluntarily opt-in for permanent absentee voting when requesting this current absentee ballot. She said that if a voter selects the permanent absentee ballot option, they will automatically be mailed an absentee ballot for every subsequent election. The option can be changed at any time.
