Who can vote in the NM Primary? Only voters who are affiliated with a major party can vote in Primary Election (General Elections are open to all registered voters).

If you are registered as DTS or with a minor party you can vote in the Primary Election by going to your County Clerk’s office; any participating polling place in your county during Early Voting; or any Election Day polling location in order to update your registration to one of the major parties. You can then vote in the Primary Election for whichever major party you’ve chosen. 

Voters who utilize this option and who then wish to revert back to being DTS or registered with a minor party can update their registration online at NMVOTE.ORG after they’ve voted in the Primary Election.
