Early voting locations
In the town hall, the early voting takes place in the lobby.
The Las Cruces local elections will include races for Districts 3, 5 and 6. Las Cruces residents will elect ranked councilors if there are more than two candidates. In ranking list choice voting, voters can sort the candidates from favorites to least favorite. For a candidate to win, they have to get a majority of the votes, 50 percent plus one. If a candidate receives the majority of the first votes, he wins. If no candidate receives the majority of the preferred votes, the candidate with the fewest preferred votes is eliminated. Voters who chose this candidate as their first choice would count their second preferred vote.
For information on ranked choices, see the FAQ on ranked choice.
