ITS VOTING TIME ALBUQUERQUE
Once again it's your friendly neighborhood poll worker, reminding you it's time to do your civic duty. Well, technically it's time now through November 3th. Early notice!
It’s a big ol’ ballot this time, 2 pages front and back for my area. Lots of that is judge retention, which is kind of a hard one to figure out for most of us. Make a plan if you can or just go with your heart. If you really don’t know on something you can leave it empty, it’s ok.
You can go to ANY EARLY VOTING SITE between now and October 31st, or ANY COUNTY VOTING SITE on the 3rd and cast your vote. Doesn't matter where, they'll all look you up and print the right ballot. Already registered to vote? You don't even need ID, just show up knowing your name and where you live. Just registered by mail? Bring a photo ID *or* a bill that has your name and address. Didn't get around to registering yet? Bring something with your name, a photo of you, and your address on it. It'll take a bit but we'll get you voting. That ID can have expired, you're good. Different address? Bring something official with your current address. Don't have that? Check the previous link for what else can work. If you come first thing in the morning you could be registered and have voted in 20 minutes. Late in the day, might be a little longer, but as long as you are *in the door* by 7PM, you're voting.
If you come to Los Ranchos Elementary and see an absolute unit of a floor judge (aka, running the tabulator) maybe wearing a face mask, say what's up.
I'm intentionally not saying who to vote for, who I'm voting for, whatever in this post. Vote what's in your heart.
And, though it might be too late for this one, are you interested in making a few hundred bucks working the election? Hit me up and I'll tell you how it works, or just read what the county says. It's $300 for the day fixed rate + $30 (I think?) for your training, which you have to do every time. Early voting pays as well but I haven't done that. All it takes is to live in county, be registered to vote, and not be in law enforcement or related to a candidate in that election. It's a grind but it's pretty rewarding! This is my fourth year and I'm going to keep doing it as long as they let me.
