NM Political Report to host panel discussion on election administration

We do this simply to make sure folks who really want to get tickets and attend the event will be able to do so.

We are also pleased to be able to provide appetizers to our attendees for this event (you’ll still have to pay for your own drinks, which will be provided by the restaurant). 

During the panel presentation we will discuss the nuts and bolts of how elections work, including: How are votes counted? What protections are in place for privacy? What do recent legislative changes mean for how elections are run? What goes on with absentee ballots? We’ll discuss all these and more.
