REQUEST AN ABSENTEE BALLOT FOR JUNE 2 PRIMARY ELECTION

Secretary of State Maggie Toulouse Oliver has created an online absentee ballot portal in an effort to ensure the state’s 2020 elections proceed as efficiently and normally as possible in light of New Mexico’s ongoing public health emergency. The online absentee ballot application portal can be accessed directly through the Secretary of State’s Voter Information Portal at NMvote.org. New Mexico’s primary election will take place on June 2, 2020. The deadline for requesting your absentee ballot is May 28. More information at the Secretary of State’s website at sos.state.nm.us.

2020 CENSUS

If you haven’t responded to the 2020 Census yet, now’s the time. The U.S. Census happens once every decade and counts everyone in the U.S. An accurate census is critical because the data is used to determine the distribution of federal dollars and political representation for the next ten years. Grant County receives money through federal programs which benefit the community from health care, to nutrition, to education, to housing, to jobs, and more.

The easiest way to get counted is to go online to 2020census.gov and fill out the on-line questionnaire. You can also fill out your paper questionnaire that you should have received in the mail. If you do not have access to the internet or have not received a paper questionnaire, you can call the 2020 Census Assistance line at 1-844-330-2020. Due to the coronavirus outbreak, all public locations for census taking are closed. To date only 18% of Grant Countians have responded, so please get counted today! Thank you!

SENIOR & DISABLED ADULT FOOD ASSISTANCE

If you are a senior or disabled adult and cannot access groceries, please call the state’s Senior and Disabled Adult Food Hotline at 1-800-432-2080. Leave a message with your name, telephone number and city that you reside in and you will be contacted within 2 hours of your call.

DONATIONS TO COMMUNITY COVID-19 RESPONSE
