Voting Systems and Elections Security
New Mexicans can be confident that our election results are accurate and protected from sophisticated cyberattacks. We're committed to ensuring commonsense practices for election integrity.
Election Integrity Is Important To Everyone
Protecting our democracy from foreign or domestic attacks is not a partisan issue. In order for our government to function with legitimacy, Americans must trust in the accuracy of our elections.
Here in New Mexico, we have simple and commonsense measures in place: paper ballots, audits to confirm election results, paper back-ups of our voter registration databases, and automatic and electronic voter rolls. New Mexico also participates in Electronic Registration Information Center (ERIC) to share voter registration records with other participating states to keep voter rolls more accurate.
Common Cause New Mexico is dedicated to safeguarding our voting systems. To that end, we have also worked to ensure adequate funding is allocated for the Office of the New Mexico Secretary of State to conduct our elections and keep our technology up to date.
