Did You Know – July 2024 – Primary Election

Turnout in the June 4th primary election in NM and Sandoval County was, as usual, very low. In fact, it was slightly lower than normal. In the county, it was just below the statewide average.
Low Turnout
Statewide 23%, 231,000 out of over 1 million registered voters.
Sandoval County 21%, 17,000 out of over 81,000 registered voters.
Though primary election results do not guarantee similar results in the general election, it appears that the incumbent Dem candidates for the two countywide executive offices (Clerk & Treasurer) are in strong positions for their reelection.
