SANTA FE COUNTY CLERK’S OFFICE- UPDATE YOUR VOTER REGISTRATION

Geraldine Salazar, Santa Fe County Clerk, urges voters to keep their voter registration up to date. If you are new to the county, or have changed your address, mailing address, name, or party affiliation, you need to change your voter registration. Not sure what is in your file? Please contact the Santa Fe County Clerk’s Office at 505-986-6280 and ask for a staff member who can look up your voter registration to verify that your information is correct in our records.

Your address may have changed during the last decade, even if you have not moved: all Rural Route addresses were changed to street names and house numbers to comply with 911 emergency addressing. The US Postal Service no longer delivers mail with old Rural Route addresses. If your voter registration has an old Rural Route address, any information the Clerk’s Office sends to you regarding an election is returned to the Clerk’s Office as UNDELIVERABLE. If the Clerk’s Office does not have your correct address, you may not know if and when your polling place has changed.

You are responsible for ensuring that the County Clerk’s Office has the correct name, address, mailing address, and party affiliation on your voter registration. Call the Clerk’s Office and request a Voter Registration form be sent to you, or stop by the Clerk’s Office at 102 Grant Avenue, Santa Fe, or one of the County Satellite Offices to update your voter registration in person:

• In Edgewood: 114 Quail Trail (505-281-4042)
• In Eldorado:     16 Avenida Torreon (505-466-4029)
• In Pojoaque:    5 West Gutierrez, Suite 9 (505-455-2775)

If you have questions about your status as a voter, if you wish to register to vote or change your registration, or if you wish to participate as a poll worker, please call the Bureau of Elections at 505-986-6280. The last day to register or change your registration for the Primary Election is Tuesday, May 6, 2014.
