If you want to vote early on a Saturday before Nov. 1, you cannot do so at the Santa Fe County Clerk's Office, despite what a recent mailer from the Secretary of State's Office said.

The agency sent wrong information to voters in the county, listing the clerk's office on Grant Avenue as a location for Saturday voting in October. In fact, it will only be available as a Saturday location on Nov. 1. Until then, Saturday voters can cast their ballots at five other places in the county. Weekday voters, however, can cast ballots at the clerk's office from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Secretary of State Mary Herrera on Monday accepted blame for the error.

"I have to take the responsibility," she said. She said she's done radio interviews and plans to send out a news release to get correct information to the public.

Santa Fe County Clerk Valerie Espinoza said she's upset by Herrera's error.

"We're frustrated," she said. "It's throwing a monkey wrench in our tight ship." And, she said, she'll be on TV with correct information.

Espinoza said voters were waiting outside her downtown office Saturday when she headed into work.

"They didn't understand why they had a piece of information from the state saying they could vote at the courthouse and they couldn't," she said.

Her office is in the Santa Fe County Administration Building on Grant Avenue, commonly known as the courthouse because it originally housed courtrooms.

She said more than 6,000 people have already voted in the Nov. 4 election.

The locations for early, in-person voting are:

• 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. Oct. 25 and Nov. 1. They also are open from noon to 8 p.m. Oct. 21-24 and Oct. 28-31.

The clerk's office is open for voting Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. It will be open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Nov. 1.
