SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — Voter participation by early and absentee balloting in Tuesday's election has nearly surpassed participation in New Mexico's 2018 midterm election. The New Mexico secretary of state's office on Monday said that nearly 440,000 ballots have been cast through the close of early in-person voting on Saturday and by absentee voting, with more than a day remaining in the election.
Early voting ended Saturday in New Mexico and Republicans led Democrats in southeast New Mexico. Democrats led Republicans in larger areas.
Polls close in the state at 7 p.m. local time, or 9 p.m. EST.
No Senate seats will be voted upon in New Mexico but the governorship as well as House representatives will be decided on Tuesday.
