No early voting sites for the Democratic Caucus in New Mexico

The date to vote in the Democratic Caucus is February 5, 2008. Absentee voting ballots had to be mail out by last Monday so that an independent accounting firm could certify the results of the election. The party is not doing early voting sites this year. Democrats need to show up at the voting sites on February 5 in order to vote at this point in time. Polls will be open from 12:00 noon until 7:00 pm. All registered Democratic voters need to show their support for the process by voting. Staying home or at work and not voting is a good way to show our country that New Mexicans don’t care about the issues facing our country. All caucus sites will be allowing provisional ballots if you can not make it to your voting site then go to the closest one to vote. The provisional ballots will be counted and they will count in the caucus. You don’t need a formal ID in order to vote. We in the Democratic Party are not in the business to deny any registered democrat voter the right to vote in the caucus. Democrats in New Mexico must understand that voting is not just a right in this country but it is a civic duty. Our system of government only works well when people care about and take part in the process. Democrats of New Mexico take responsibility for your own actions in so doing exercise your rights and duties by voting on February 5.
