A day later on November 17, the Secretary’s office addressed ongoing municipal election results in Albuquerque and other areas. The post stated: "NM's largest city couldn't quite decide on a mayor & a couple city council seats so now voters will cast another ballot to make the final decision. But don't worry, the process is easy by using resources offered by the @BernCoClerk & our Office. Visit https://t.co/ejCxLFvPHG https://t.co/EOUtURBXkU" (posted November 17, 2025).
Later that same day, another post discussed potential changes to state election procedures. Quoting Alex Curtas, director of communications for Maggie Toulouse Oliver—the current New Mexico Secretary of State—the tweet said: '"In New Mexico, transitioning away from 100% paper balloting, widely considered a salutary practice, would be 'a big lift,' said Alex Curtas, director of communications for Maggie Toulouse Oliver, New Mexico’s secretary of state, but 'definitely an interesting idea."' (posted November 17, 2025).
New Mexico has maintained its use of paper ballots as part of efforts to ensure transparency and integrity in its elections—a practice often highlighted as a safeguard against errors or tampering.
