Online Registration:

All you need is a current or expired New Mexico state I.D. or driver’s license. Register HERE with the Secretary of State.

In Person Registration:

Mail In Registration:

When you register to vote by mail you need a current or expired state I.D. or driver’s license and a current utility bill, bank statement, student I.D.  or other government document.

Though voter registration closes 28 days prior to an election, you have another opportunity: same day voter registration at the polls is permitted in New Mexico.

Permanent Absentee List:

You can now opt in to this list to automatically receive an absentee ballot by mail before every statewide election – no need to submit a new request each time. You can join the list while requesting an absentee ballot at NMVote.org. Note: Voters who request their ballot be sent to an out-of-state address are not eligible for the permanent absentee list.

When are you eligible to register?

• New to New Mexico: Immediately if you are 18 or older
• 17-year-olds who will be 18 before the next general election (Nov. 3, 2026).

To check your voter registration and learn what municipal, legislative and congressional districts you are in, visit the NM Secretary of State webpage. 

Your paper ballot vote is secure.
