The Santa Fe County Clerk's Office is expecting heavy voter turnout today at locations around the county.

"There's been a lot of people every day, so there's no reason to expect any less people," said Denise Lamb, chief deputy clerk for elections in Santa Fe County.

"I imagine it will remain steady."

More than 13,800 people have already voted in the county at various locations. Lamb said the busiest day at the county fairgrounds location was Wednesday, when 1,022 people voted.

The County Clerk's Office, 102 Grant Ave., is open during business hours Monday through Friday and on Saturday, Nov. 1, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

If you want to vote early today, here are your choices:
  • Santa Fe County Fairgrounds, 3229 Rodeo Road.
  • El Dorado Senior Center, 14 Avenida Torreon, Eldorado.
  • Edgewood Fire Station No. 2, 25 E. Frontage Road, Edgewood.
  • Pojoaque Fire Station, 17919 U.S. 84/285, Pojoaque.
  • Abedon Lopez Center, 155 B Camino de Quintana, Española.
Those sites are open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. today and on Nov. 1. They also are open from noon to 8 p.m. on Tuesday through Friday. The alternative voting sites are closed Sunday and Monday.
