THANK YOU VOTERS!
On behalf of the League of Women Voters of Southern New Mexico, I want to thank each and every individual who voted in the Nov. 5, 2024 General Election. The Secretary of State reports that more than 66% of New Mexicans (nearly 915,000 people) went to the election polls or cast an absentee ballot. Click here to see the election results. Regardless of the outcome for any given candidate, Constitutional Amendment, Bond Issue, or local tax, LWVSNM, a non-partisan organization, is proud of the efforts that many individuals made to promote the election and the opportunity to vote. If you read our Voter Guide, please take the survey below. As always, this League will continue to empower voters and strengthen Democracy.
—Jo Galván Nash, President, LWVSNM
