About the Office

At the New Mexico Secretary of State (SOS)’s office, we recognize that digital accessibility is not just a matter of convenience but a fundamental civil right. We are dedicated to creating a website that is easily accessible and user-friendly for everyone, including those with disabilities. This commitment aligns with civil rights laws such as the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and is driven by our belief in an inclusive digital space. We understand that ensuring equal access and inclusion for all users is a continuous process, and we are committed to making ongoing technical improvements to uphold this right. 

Conformance Status
