Edgewood Town, New Mexico Public Records

Regular registration closes 28 days before any election, though the state offers same-day registration during early voting and on Election Day at voting convenience centers. Valid identification includes a New Mexico driver's license, state ID, tribal ID, or student ID from a New Mexico educational institution. Because Edgewood is an unincorporated community, residents don't vote in separate municipal elections for mayor or city council. Instead, local voters participate in Santa Fe County elections for County Commission District 5, which represents the eastern portion of Santa Fe County. County Commission elections occur in even-numbered years, with commissioners serving four-year staggered terms. Residents also cast ballots in New Mexico state legislative elections for State House and State Senate districts. Federal, state, and county races fill out the ballot, presidential contests, U.S. Senate, U.S. House (District 1 or 2 depending on redistricting), Governor, other statewide offices, and judicial retention elections all draw Edgewood voters to the polls. Polling locations shift from election to election; residents can find their assigned voting convenience center by visiting the New Mexico Secretary of State Voter Portal at nmvote.org and entering their address, or by calling the Santa Fe County Clerk. New Mexico's voting convenience center model lets voters cast ballots at any designated location in their county during early voting and on Election Day.
