Guadalupita, New Mexico Public Records

When major crimes or emergencies arise, coordination becomes essential, with departments often collaborating alongside state and federal agencies to address criminal activities that extend beyond local boundaries.

Property records fall under the purview of the Mora County Assessor's Office, which houses deeds, titles, and tax information searchable on their website at https://www.moracountynm.gov/assessor. The historical depth of these records reflects the area's long-established communities.

New Mexico offers online voter registration through the Secretary of State's portal at https://portal.sos.state.nm.us/OVR/WebPages/InstructionsStep1.aspx, requiring a valid New Mexico driver's license or state ID number with a deadline of 28 days before any election. Registration is also available in person at the Mora County Clerk's office or by mail using a printed form. Because the community is unincorporated with no municipal government, there are no mayoral or city council elections - residents vote only in federal, state, and county races. Local voters participate in Mora County Commission elections covering three districts with staggered four-year terms, along with races for Mora County Sheriff, County Clerk, County Assessor, County Treasurer, and County Probate Judge. Polling place assignments can be found using the New Mexico Voter View portal at https://voterportal.servelect.net/voterportal/login/nm, where voters enter their name and date of birth or voter registration number to view their assigned precinct, polling location, sample ballot, and registration status. In the November 2024 presidential election, Mora County reported approximately 2,400 total votes cast out of roughly 3,200 registered voters, representing turnout near 75 percent. Democratic candidates typically carry the county by wide margins, reflecting its heavily Hispanic, traditionally Democratic electorate. On November 3, 2026, voters in the area will decide several significant races: the New Mexico gubernatorial election as Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham's second term expires, all three U.S. House seats representing New Mexico with the community located in District 3, all 42 state House of Representatives seats, and select state Senate seats with 20 of 42 up on a staggered basis. County offices up in 2026 include County Commission District seats on their regular cycle, and potentially County Clerk, Sheriff, Assessor, or Treasurer depending on term expirations. No U.S. Senate seat from New Mexico is scheduled for 2026 - Senator Ben Ray Luján is up in 2028, while Senator Martin Heinrich was last elected in 2024 for a term ending 2030. New Mexico allows no-excuse absentee voting, meaning any registered voter may request an absentee ballot by completing an application available at https://www.sos.nm.gov or through the Mora County Clerk. Absentee ballot requests must be received by the Mora County Clerk by the Thursday before Election Day for mailed ballots, or in person until 5 p.m. The Saturday before Election Day. Early in-person voting is available at the Mora County Clerk's office and designated sites beginning 28 days before Election Day. Election records that are public in New Mexico include voter registration lists containing name, address, date of birth, party affiliation, and voting history, but not Social Security numbers or driver's license numbers. Campaign finance reports filed with the Secretary of State at https://www.sos.nm.gov/voting-and-elections/campaign-finance/, candidate declarations of candidacy, and precinct-level election results published by the Mora County Clerk and Secretary of State are also accessible. New Mexico uses paper ballots tabulated by optical scanners, with results posted on election night and canvassed officially within 10 days.
