New Mexicans can begin casting absentee ballots as well as voting in person starting Oct. 11 at their county clerk’s office for the Nov. 8 general election. The Journal plans to publish its endorsements for contested statewide and Albuquerque-area offices in mid-October, as early voting convenience centers open across the metro area.
Candidates in those contested races who would like to meet with members of the editorial board before endorsements are published should contact editorial page editor Dan Herrera at 823-3810 or via email at dherrera@abqjournal.com. Include contact phone numbers. Interviews can be scheduled Mondays through Thursdays at 10 a.m., 2 p.m. and 3 p.m.
