Welcome to a special bonus episode of Preserving History and Democracy!
In this episode, County Clerk Dr. Amanda López Askin and Elections Supervisor Janice Giron share important final updates ahead of the 2025 Regular Local Election.
They begin by covering key election dates and offering insights into early and absentee voting numbers. Then, they discuss why every vote matters—even if you don't live within a municipality.
Dr. López Askin and Janice also explain the Permanent Absentee List, how it impacts voters, and provide reminders about how to return absentee ballots safely and on time. They touch on statewide voter turnout trends, walk listeners through what to expect when voting in person, and emphasize the Clerk's Office's commitment to accuracy over speed when reporting election results.
The conversation continues with an inside look at the Absentee Board process, recent New Mexico election law changes, and how those updates ensure transparency, accountability, and the accurate counting of every ballot.
Finally, the episode wraps up with some important Election Day reminders to help every voter make their voice heard.
Tune in to stay informed, get ready to vote, and learn how your local election office works to preserve both history and democracy in your community.
