EFFORTS TO REGISTER VOTERS IN BERNALILLO COUNTY ARE GETTING THE ATTENTION OF THE BERNALILLO COUNTY CLERK'S OFFICE. IT'S GETTING REPORTS THAT SOME THIRD-PARTY VOTER REGISTRATION AGENTS ARE PROVIDING VOTERS WITH THE WRONG INFORMATION. COUNTY CLERK MAGGIE TOULOUSE-OLIVER SAYS THEY'RE HEARING FROM VOTERS WHO WERE TOLD THEY HAVE TO REGISTER EVERY TWO OR FIVE YEARS TO REMAIN ELIGIBLE TO VOTE, WHICH IS UNTRUE.
TOULOUSE-OLIVER SAYS WHAT THEY'RE DOING ISN'T ILLEGAL, BUT IT ISN'T HELPFUL EITHER. SHE SAYS THERE'S NOTHING IN THE ELECTION CODE AT THIS TIME THAT SPECIFICALLY ADDRESSES GIVING MISINFORMATION REGARDING VOTER REGISTRATION. BUT SHE SAYS THAT'S AN AREA THAT MAY NEED TO BE LOOKED AT IN THE FUTURE.
TOULOUSE-OLIVER SAYS ANYONE WITH A QUESTION OR CONCERN ABOUT VOTER REGISTRATION IS WELCOME TO CONTACT HER OFFICE.
