As of Tuesday, 19,102 people had voted in person at the courthouse and by absentee ballot. Interim County Clerk Rita Torres said. She estimated that another 1,200 voted Wednesday. Though county officals haven't yet counted ballots from the other four early voting sites in the county, Torres estimated that another 3,000 to 6,000 people have voted at those sites.
That means between 23,000 and 26,000 people have voted early, representing about one-fourth of the county's 96,188 registered voters.

Secretary of State Rebecca Vigil-Giron estimated Wednesday that “better than” 75 percent of the state’s 1.1 million registered voters will vote in this year’s election — at least 825,000 voters.
That would be up from 62 percent in 2000, when just under 600,000 people voted and there were 900,000 registered voters.
“It seems like everyone’s woken up,” Vigil-Giron said in an interview with the Sun-News.
Voter registration and early voting have increased statewide. In Santa Fe County, for example, more than one-third of registered voters have already cast votes in person or by mail.
