ABOUT THIS STATE

New Mexico. You have more PhD’s per capita than any other state—you’re smart! When you're not riding hot air balloons or staring at a Georgia O'Keefe painting, you're making our hearts race with your close elections. Case in point, the 2000 presidential election between Gore and Bush when it came down to just 366 votes. 366! So it doesn't take a PhD to realize how important it is to be prepared for Election Day. Here's everything you need to know on how to be a voter in the Land of Enchantment.

  • Do I need an ID?

    You do not have to present identification to vote in a statewide election. When registering for the first time in New Mexico, you must submit a copy of (1) a current and valid photo identification; or (2) a current utility bill, bank statement, government check, paycheck, student identification card or other government document, including identification issued by an Indian nation, tribe or pueblo that shows your name and current address. If you do not submit the required identification with your mailed-in, first time registration, then you will be required to present one of the forms of identification when voting in person or absentee. Some municipal jurisdictions in New Mexico have ordinances in place that require voter ID be presented to vote in *city* elections. This includes the City of Rio Rancho.
