New Mexico Attorney General Hector Balderas and Secretary of State Maggie Toulouse Oliver have announced a collaborative effort to release a comprehensive voter information guide ahead of the upcoming elections. The guide aims to educate voters on important dates, voting processes, and their rights when participating in the electoral process.
Both officials emphasized the importance of providing accessible and accurate information to voters, especially as the state continues to navigate the challenges posed by the ongoing pandemic. Balderas stated that the guide is a crucial resource for New Mexicans to better understand their rights and responsibilities as voters, while Toulouse Oliver highlighted the need for transparency and clarity in the voting process.
The voter information guide covers a wide range of topics, including voter registration deadlines, early voting options, and instructions for requesting and submitting absentee ballots. It also addresses common misconceptions about voting, such as the requirement for voter identification and the availability of language assistance for non-English speakers.
In addition to the printed guide, both officials have made the information available online to ensure that as many voters as possible have access to this important resource. The collaboration between the Attorney General’s office and the Secretary of State is a reflection of their shared commitment to promoting voter education and engagement in New Mexico.
With the November elections rapidly approaching, Balderas and Toulouse Oliver hope that the voter information guide will empower citizens to participate in the democratic process and make informed decisions at the polls. Voters are encouraged to review the guide carefully and reach out to their respective offices with any questions or concerns about the electoral process.
