(Deming) – Early voting is underway for the June 7th primary election.
     Voters may vote weekdays from 8 a.m.-5 p.m. in the Luna County Clerk’s office on the first floor of the Luna County Courthouse through June 3rd.
     Beginning Saturday, May 21st, voters also will be able to vote early at the Mimbres Valley Learning and Special Events Center on Saturdays from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. and Tuesdays-Fridays from 11 a.m. – 7 p.m.
     The County Clerk’s office will be open on the final Saturday of early voting, June 4th, from 10 a.m.-6 p.m.
     New Mexico has a closed primary system, which means registered Democrats may vote only for Democratic candidates in the primary, and Republicans may vote only for Republican candidates in the primary.

     Running for Luna County treasurer are Democrat Gloria Rodriguez and Republicans Jennie Kirchen and Tammy Zumwalt.  The successful candidate will succeed Dora Madrid, who is ineligible to run again because of term limits.
