(OPEN):
NEW MEXICO'S PRIMARY-ELECTION IS SCHEDULED FOR JUNE 2ND. BUT, THE DEADLINE TO APPLY FOR AN ABSENTEE BALLOT IS THIS THURSDAY, MAY 28TH.
THAT'S WHY BETH VELASQUEZ, OF "A-A-R-P NEW MEXICO", REMINDS ALL VOTERS TO BE PREPARED...
(VELASQUEZ):
"WHEN THE 'NEW MEXICO SUPREME
COURT' RULED THAT A TRADITIONAL PRIMARY-ELECTION SHOULD MOVE FORWARD, IT ALSO DIRECTED COUNTY-CLERKS TO BEGIN MAILING ABSENTEE-BALLOT APPLICATIONS, TO ALL REGISTERED-VOTERS OF THE
STATE'S THREE MAJOR PARTIES. AND, MANY VOTERS WHO'VE ALREADY REQUESTED ONE HAVE RECEIVED THEIRS.
BUT, IT'S STILL NOT TOO LATE FOR NEW MEXICANS TO REQUEST AN ABSENTEE BALLOT
ONLINE--OR BY DIRECTLY CONTACTING THEIR COUNTRY-CLERK'S OFFICE. THAT DEADLINE IS FIVE P-M, THIS THURSDAY, THE 28TH.
STILL, ALL ABSENTEE BALLOTS MUST BE RECEIVED BEFORE SEVEN P-M, ON ELECTION DAY.
ABSENTEE VOTING IS A TRIED-AND-TRUE PRACTICE THAT THE STATE HAS USED DURING EVERY ELECTION-CYCLE, FOR DECADES.
AND, NEW MEXICANS CAN TRUST THAT THEIR BALLOT WILL BE COUNTED--WHILE STAYING SAFELY IN THEIR HOME."
(CLOSE):
FOR MORE INFORMATION, VELASQUEZ URGES NEW MEXICANS TO VISIT THE
SECRETARY OF STATE'S VOTING-WEBSITE--AT "N-M-VOTE"-DOT-ORG.
