Editor,
This election is too important for anyone to sit on the sidelines. We applaud the good work of the voting rights community that has led to increased energy and an increase in new voter registrations in this election year. Long before the term "third-party registration" was coined, the League of Women Voters, too, was working to ensure that every voter has fair access to registration. Now it is time to translate that energy into historic levels of participation in the 2008 election.
Visit https://VoterView.state.nm.us to find your polling location, or call your county clerk. Many county clerks' Web sites also offer downloadable sample ballots. Find the New Mexico League of Women Voters' 2008 Voters' Guide online at Lwvnm.org. There you will also find links to many other sources of information about the 2008 election. Take advantage of the early and absentee voting options in New Mexico to vote at a time that is most convenient for you. Or celebrate democracy by voting at your polling place on Nov. 4 in the company of your neighbors. The most important thing is to make your voice heard in this election. Vote.
Katherine Campbell
President of the League of Women Voters of New Mexico
