The New Mexico State Canvass Board met Tuesday in Santa Fe to certify the official 2023 local election results.
The State Canvass Board is made up of Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham, Secretary of State Maggie Toulouse Oliver and New Mexico Supreme Court Chief Justice C. Shannon Bacon.
Lujan Grisham was not present at the canvass.
“Every New Mexican should have the highest level of confidence in these official election results and in the conduct of the recently completed statewide Regular Local Election,” Toulouse Oliver said in a press release. “Hearty thanks to all the election administrators and poll workers across New Mexico who conducted this election with the efficiency and integrity for which they’re known, and I want to thank all the voters who turned out to make their voices heard.”
The official, certified results for the 2023 Regular Local Election can be viewed on the Secretary of State’s website.
A total of 250,582 voters out of 1,219,760 eligible voters turned out for the 2023 Regular Local Election, for a voter turnout of 20.54 percent.
The State Canvass Board election certification makes the results of the Nov. 7 official.
The Board also announced automatic recounts in races, which take place when results are within one percent between the top two candidates.
New Mexico uses paper ballots, so the recounts are of the original ballots and will be conducted by the county clerks in the races.
