• Who is eligible to vote?
• Can someone who has been convicted of a crime vote?
  • If you are currently incarcerated in New Mexico for a felony offense you cannot vote. BUT…once you are no longer confined to a jail, prison, or other correctional facility, you can register and vote in New Mexico elections. That means you can register to vote and vote even if you are on probation or parole.
