LAS CRUCES, NM – Two precincts in Doña Ana County were chosen at random by the New Mexico Secretary of State’s Office for a mandatory post-election system review. The Doña Ana County Clerk’s office is scheduled to begin the system check on Monday, July 1st, 2024, at 9:00 am at 2480 Lakeside Dr., Las Cruces, NM.

The Precincts selected for the post-election system check include precincts 14 and 59 for the Libertarian U.S. Presidential race.

Under 1-14-13.2  NMSA, For each selected office, the auditor shall publicly select a random sample of precincts from a pool of all precincts in the state no later than twelve days after the election. The random sample shall be chosen in a process that will ensure, with at least ninety percent probability for the selected offices, that faulty tabulators would be detected if they would change the outcome of the election for a selected office.”

“All New Mexicans should be proud of the checks and balances in New Mexico elections, highlighting the fair, transparent, and secure process from early voting to statewide certification.,” Said Doña Ana County Clerk, Amanda López Askin.

The Clerk’s Office is required to submit results by July 15,  2024, to the State Auditor.
