Republican presidential candidates Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum and Ron Paul have earned a place on New Mexico’s June 5 primary election ballot.
Secretary of State Dianna Duran said Friday that President Barack Obama was certified to appear on the Democratic ticket.
Other Republican or Democratic presidential candidates can get on the primary ballot by submitting about 16,000 voter signatures to the state by March 12.
A committee of state officials and leaders of the state Republican and Democratic parties nominates and certifies presidential candidates for the primary election.
