Same Day Voter Registration FAQ 

New Mexicans who are eligible to vote can register to vote or update their voter registration immediately before voting in a statewide election during Early Voting and on Election Day. This is what’s known as “same day voter registration.”   

Who is eligible for same day voter registration (SDR)?   

Any eligible voter in New Mexico can register to vote or update their voter registration and then vote on the same day at their County Clerk’s office or at any polling location in their county on Election Day and participating Early Voting locations.   

Where is SDR available?  SDR is available for eligible voters at their County Clerk’s office or at any polling location in their county on Election Day. Additional Early Voting locations may also provide SDR – it’s best to check with your local county clerk.

What do I need to bring for SDR?  Whether you are an unregistered voter or an already registered voter looking to update your registration, in order to use SDR you’ll need to bring:  

(1) a New Mexico driver’s license or New Mexico identification card issued through the  motor vehicle division of the taxation and revenue department;  

(2) any document that contains an address in the county together with a photo identification  card; OR
