What's different this year
According to the Secretary of the State's office, early voters this year put their finished ballots straight into the tabulator, the counting machine, instead of sealing them in an envelope, and both print and sign their names when they check in.
What's on your ballot
Every Farmington voter chooses a governor and lieutenant governor, a member of Congress, a state senator and a state representative, four other statewide officers, a judge of probate and a registrar of voters. Which state senator and state representative you see depends on your precinct. Our elections page shows your ballot by precinct or street address.
