Time to vote early in New Mexico!

05.15.2026

Saturday, May 16, marks the start of Expanded Early Voting for New Mexico’s Primary Election happening June 2nd.

This is the first year of New Mexico’s “semi-open” primaries, so if you are registered as an independent/decline to state you can now vote in EITHER the Republican or Democrat primaries.
As you know, the 2026 election cycle is crucial to New Mexico’s economic and business future. We need all New Mexicans to vote in both the primary and general elections. According to the New Mexico Secretary of State site, the overall turnout rate of eligible voters in the 2022 primary and general elections are abysmal:

  • primary election turnout: only 25.52%
  • general election turnout: only 52.38%
Make a Plan to Vote: RGF highly recommends voting in New Mexico’s expanded early voting time frame in person before Election Day. You have two weeks to vote in early expanded voting with the last day being May 30. Of course you CAN vote on Election Day Tuesday, June 2nd as well.
