State Canvass Board Certifies Regular Local Election Results, Orders Automatic Recounts
SANTA FE – New Mexico’s State Canvass Board met today in Santa Fe and unanimously certified the official results of the 2025 Regular Local Election.
“The State Canvass Board meeting is the last step in the multi-step post-election canvass process that ensures accuracy in the election results,” said Secretary of State Maggie Toulouse Oliver. “New Mexicans can have confidence in these official election results because of the rigorous review process that takes place at the county and state-level. The canvassing process allows our county and state election officials to reconcile the number of mail-in, early, and election day ballots cast with the number of people who voted. When a discrepancy is found between the number of ballots cast and the number of voters, it can be investigated, explained, and corrected timely. The 2025 Regular Local Election was conducted with the professionalism, efficiency, and integrity that New Mexicans expect from their election administrators. I extend my sincere thanks to the State Canvass Board for their work today, to my staff at the Secretary of State’s Office, to our county clerks and their teams, poll workers, vendors, and to our local, state, and federal partners whose dedication made this election a success.”
The official, certified results for the 2025 Regular Local Election can be viewed on the Secretary of State’s website at sos.nm.gov.
During today’s meeting, the Board signed the certificate of canvass that makes the results of the 2025 Regular Local Election official. The Board also ordered automatic recounts in thirty-four races throughout the state and will meet again on Thursday, December 11, 2025 at 2:00pm to certify those results.
