We are less than one week away from the 2022 New Mexico Primary, but more importantly, today is the last day to request your absentee ballot.

If you are a registered voter in one of New Mexico’s major political parties – Democrat, Libertarian, or Republican – please remember to exercise your right to vote and request your ballot today at NMVOTE.ORG.

If you are planning to vote early in person, there are only three days left to do so before early voting ends June 4.

You can find additional information about voting – including polling locations in your community, sample ballots, and absentee ballot request forms – by visiting the New Mexico Secretary of State’s website.

Voting is one of the most important rights we have as Americans, and it is 100 percent true that every vote matters, and every vote counts! Last election, one race was decided in New Mexico by only 27 votes!

Listing of candidates the AFT union has endorsed in their respective primaries:

No matter whom you support, please make sure you and your family take part in the upcoming primary election.

Thank you for exercising your right to vote and making our democracy stronger!
