First day of early voting in New Mexico includes 'hiccup' for same-day registration
The first day of early voting on Tuesday for New Mexico’s June 2 primary election included some problems in a handful of counties with the state’s same-day voter registration system.
Secretary of State Director of Communications, Legislative and Executive Affairs Lindsey Bachman confirmed to Source NM that at around 11:30 a.m., the state’s “website firewalls incorrectly determined that traffic between some county computers and the website was unsafe,” and blocked the traffic.
The same-day registration systems “were operational during the event,” she wrote, “but the communications interruptions did not allow them to work together as needed for normal availability in a few affected counties.”
She said the issue was resolved by 1 p.m.
