KOAT - Voters will no longer be able to cast a vote for a straight party ticket, making the process a little more complicated. Almost half of New Mexicans vote straight party ticket, meaning they get a ballot for Democrats or Republicans and pick all the candidates in the party of their choice.
"In the last election, 41 percent of New Mexicans voted for the party line, but now they will no longer be able to do that," said KOAT political analyst Brian Sanderoff.
The straight party ticket is going away."What it will mean is the voters will have to go through every line, every race, one by one and choose a candidate they think is appropriate," said Sanderoff.
The change will mean more time in the voting booth and possible voter fatigue, which could result in a fall off in participation. Read full story here: News New Mexico
