[LWVNM Action] Registering as a lobbyist

[Akkana Peck]

A couple other things to know about that SOS page where you register as a lobbyist:

If you're renewing a registration from last year, you'll find yourself in a page that shows LWVNM as an "employer", with instructions to choose "Renew" from the Actions, except there aren't any Actions. The trick on this page is that it's set up for an impossibly wide monitor, and if your browser isn't incredibly wide, the Actions three-dots menu is hidden off to the far right. You need to look for the horizontal scrollbar and *scroll right* til you see that three-dots Action menu.

If you're new, so you don't have a registration from last year, it will ask you all kinds of things about LWVNM like address and phone number. You can get those details from our website's Contact page: https://www.lwvnm.org/contact.html
