As a member of the League of Women Voters of Central New Mexico you may be asked specific questions about what is allowed on elections. For example many people think that employers are required to give employees two hours off on election day to go vote. That’s not true. Because we have extensive early and absentee voting opportunities, the law now says employers MAY give employees two hours off to vote on election. Employers are not required to do so.
This is a link to the NM Election Handbook published by the New Mexico Secretary of State’s office which has the actual wording of the law in all election-related matters.
It will come in handy.
