Accurate Voter Rolls

Maintaining an accurate voter list is an important part of the daily functions of the Clerk’s Office BOE because it prevents widespread voter fraud, and ensures access for eligible Sandoval County voters. Our office has made a concerted effort to improve the accuracy of the voter database, but we also our continually looking for additional methods to improve our process of maintaining the voter list in compliance with Federal and State Law.

• Checking Obituaries.
• Receiving monthly reports from NM Vital Statistics about deceased individuals.
• Suspending or reinstating voters based on conviction notices from the Department of Corrections.
• This is done in conjunction with the proactive, pro-voter measures already in place in New Mexico, such as automated voter registration, all-mail special elections, and online and same day voter registration.
• New Mexico participates in the Electronic Registration Information Center (ERIC). ERIC uses information from motor vehicle departments, Social Security Administration records, and other databases to compare voters across all member states and securely shares this information with member states.
• Our Office sends frequent election-related material to registered voters at their registration addresses and then use that information to do voter record list maintenance.
