2020 NM Election Alphabet
There are a couple of things to keep in mind:
1) This alphabet does not apply to candidates selected by state convention pursuant to NMSA 1978, Section 1-8-21.1. Their ballot order is selected by the party in descending order of votes received at the state convention.
2) The names of candidates for the same office will be ordered based upon the first letter in each candidate’s last name according to the order of letters. When two or more candidates for the same office share the same first letter in each candidate’s last name, the order of the candidate names is resolved by applying the New Mexico election alphabet to each subsequent letter in each candidate’s last name until a discernment can be ascertained between candidate names.
3) As defined in rule, “Candidate name” means the name listed on the candidate’s certificate of registration and disregarding any punctuation forming a part of a candidate’s name. So that means if you have a hyphenated last name, your ballot position will be determined by the first name of your hyphenated last name.
