“Early voting and absentee voting options are essential opportunities for voter participation during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic,” said Doña Ana County Clerk Amanda López Askin. “Our top priority is working to ensure every eligible voter is able to safely and securely cast a ballot in the General Election.”

Same-day voter registration will be available at all alternate early voting locations and the County Government Center, while early voting is taking place, the clerk’s office said. Qualified voters can register to vote or update their existing registration information before they vote.

Absentee ballots may be returned by voters, voters’ immediate family members or voters’ caregivers at the clerk’s office on the first floor of the county building or any early-voting site. 

Voters may request an absentee ballot application from the clerk’s office by emailing elections@donaanacounty.org or by printing an application and mailing it to Doña Ana County Clerk, 845 N. Motel Blvd., Las Cruces, N.M. 88007.
