2006 New Mexico Statutes - Section 1-6-7 — Form of absentee ballot.

1-6-7. Form of absentee ballot.

As soon as candidates and questions to be voted upon have been determined for each election, the county clerk shall procure a supply of suitable absentee ballots. The absentee ballots shall be numbered and shall be, as nearly as possible, in the same form as prescribed by the secretary of state for emergency ballots. However, to reduce weight and bulk for transport of absentee ballots, the size and weight of the paper for envelopes, ballots and instructions shall be reduced as much as possible. Absentee ballots shall be printed at least forty-five days prior to the date of a primary election and forty-nine days prior to the date of a general election. Absentee ballots for any other election shall be printed at least thirty-five days prior to the date of the election.
