Vote early"},"content":{"rendered":"<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Wondering why you haven\u2019t received the absentee ballot you requested?

I know several people who are still waiting, and some have already taken advantage of Wednesday\u2019s instruction from the secretary of the state to county clerks to let them vote early instead.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><o:p> <\/o:p><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">All you have to do is sign an affidavit at an early voting site saying you haven\u2019t received your absentee ballot and fill out an application for a new one. Then, instead of being sent a new absentee ballot, you\u2019ll be allowed to vote early.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><o:p> <\/o:p><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">For a list of early voting locations and times throughout the state, click <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sos.state.nm.us\/pdf\/EVSites.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>. Keep in mind that Saturday is the last day to vote early.
