\"2024<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The 2024 New Mexico primary election is coming up. Election day is June 4, 2024. First on the ballot will be your party\u2019s candidates for President of the United States. The Associated Press has called the nominees<\/a> for the Democratic and Republican parties to be Joe Biden and Donald Trump, respectively, due to the number of delegates won from primaries already held around the country. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of you might be wondering, then, why you should bother to vote in the New Mexico primary. Here\u2019s why: the 2024 New Mexico primary ballot also contains important local and state races. Your local elected officials can have much more of an impact on your life than who\u2019s elected at the national level. Depending on your district, (see \u201cDownload Your Sample Ballot\u201d below), you\u2019ll be voting for your party\u2019s candidates for US senator, US representative, state senator, state representative, county commissioner, county treasurer, district attorney, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below, you\u2019ll find information on voter registration, where to find your polling location, and how to download a sample ballot to find out what\u2019s at stake so you can make an informed voting decision. We also got the 411 on the New Mexico Uncommitted Movement. Keep reading to get ready for the 2024 New Mexico primary election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
