New Mexico’s State Canvass Board has certified the results of the 2025 Regular Local Election following a unanimous decision during a meeting in Santa Fe. The certification is described as the final step in a multi-stage process designed to ensure the accuracy of election outcomes.
Secretary of State Maggie Toulouse Oliver stated, “The State Canvass Board meeting is the last step in the multi-step post-election canvass process that ensures accuracy in the election results. New Mexicans can have confidence in these official election results because of the rigorous review process that takes place at the county and state-level. The canvassing process allows our county and state election officials to reconcile the number of mail-in, early, and election day ballots cast with the number of people who voted. When a discrepancy is found between the number of ballots cast and the number of voters, it can be investigated, explained, and corrected timely. The 2025 Regular Local Election was conducted with the professionalism, efficiency, and integrity that New Mexicans expect from their election administrators. I extend my sincere thanks to the State Canvass Board for their work today, to my staff at the Secretary of State’s Office, to our county clerks and their teams, poll workers, vendors, and to our local, state, and federal partners whose dedication made this election a success.”
The certified results are available on the Secretary of State’s website.
At its meeting today, the Board signed a certificate making these results official. Additionally, automatic recounts were ordered for thirty-four races across New Mexico. The Board plans to reconvene on Thursday, December 11, 2025 at 2:00 p.m. to certify those recount outcomes.
