Bulletin report
For the first time ever, the Doña Ana County Clerk’s office will be open on the Memorial Day holiday, Monday, May 30, so people can vote early in the 2016 primary election.
Memorial Day voting will take place from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the county government center, 845 N. Motel Blvd.
“The election officials working the polls and our staff decided that it would be a great idea to promote voting as a way to memorialize those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedoms,” said Chief Deputy County Clerk Scott Krahling. “Voting is a fundamental part of being American and the least we can do is honor those who gave their lives by being active citizens and voting,” he said.

Krahling said the clerk’s office has processed more than 1,000 new voter registrations in the week leading up to the May 10 registration deadline. “I’m excited that so many people are ready to vote, especially the 300-plus voters we registered in local high schools,” he said.
Krahling is the only Democrat running for county clerk in the 2016 primary. He will face Maria E. Rodriguez, the only Republican on the ballot, in the November general election.
