June 05, 2024 

LAS CRUCES, NM – Approximately 15.58% or 14,770 ballots were cast by eligible voters in Doña Ana County for the 2024 Primary Election on June 4th. This turnout was less than the previous Primary Election in 2022, which saw 16.41% or 15,499 ballots cast. The turnout for the 2024 Primary Election was also less than the 2020 Primary Election, which saw 29.29% or 26,055 ballots cast.

“We typically see lower turnout in Primary Elections because only voters registered with a major party are eligible to vote. However, we expect to see higher turnout for the General Election when all eligible voters can vote. I would like to commend our Clerk's Office Team for their hard work and dedication to running fair and transparent elections. I also want to thank the over 300 community members who serve as election officials for their care and commitment to preserving our democracy. Said Caroline Zamora, Chief Deputy County Clerk.

Results are scheduled to be certified by the Board of County Commissioners on June 14th and then by the New Mexico Secretary of State’s Office later in June.

All Voting Convenience Centers were staffed according to statute, and most were overstaffed. Over 300 election officials served during early voting and Election Day. Approximately 40 of those election officials were young people between the ages of 16-18. "We love seeing young people ready
to serve their community as election officials. They are seeing how elections and democracy happen firsthand. They are also likely to serve as election officials again and become lifelong voters." Said Caroline Zamora, Chief Deputy Clerk.

November 2, 2023

The Doña Ana County Clerk’s office on Thursday announced changes to some Election Night procedures following new statutory law.
