Voters cast ballots for primary races; turnout nears 12%

Almost 12% of the voters eligible to participate in Tuesday’s primary election have cast their ballots already – with Republicans slightly more likely to turn out than Democrats.

But voters still have 12 hours to boost those numbers.

Polling locations across New Mexico will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday, and same-day registration is available for new voters or independents who want to register with a party to participate in the primary.
