We have been inundated with calls and the Boys and Girls Club in the Horton Complex have had numerous angry voters because someone said on the air this morning that EARLY Vote starts today.   This is incorrect…ABSENTEE voting started today – this is the first day to mail out absentee ballots, and individuals can vote ABSENTEE IN PERSON at the County Clerk’s office in Carrizozo.   

We are happy to accommodate those who wish to drive to Carrizozo to vote, but we do not actively encourage this because we have limited staff to continue our regular duties, mail out ballots and applications, and assist voters.  Please clarify for your listeners and readers EARLY VOTE SITES THAT ARE OPEN:

HORTON COMPLEX -- Saturday Oct 22^nd – November 5^th

Open Tuesday through Saturday  10 AM to 6 PM

LINCOLN COUNTY COURTHOUSE -- Monday October 24^th – November 4^th

8 AM to 5 PM and November 5^th 10 AM to 6 PM
