BERNALILLO COUNTY CLERK MAGGIE TOULOUSE OLIVER IS IN DENVER THURSDAY, WHERE SHE'LL TESTIFY BEFORE A PRESIDENTIAL COMMISSION EVALUATING METHODS TO MAKE ELECTIONS MORE EFFICIENT. TOULOUSE OLIVER … THE ONLY NEW MEXICO REPRESENTATIVE TO TESTIFY … WILL TALK ABOUT "VOTE CENTERS" … A SYSTEM ALREADY OPERATING IN HALF OF NEW MEXICO'S COUNTIES. THE SYSTEM ALLOWS VOTERS TO CAST THEIR BALLOTS AT ANY VOTING LOCATION INSTEAD OF HAVING TO GO TO THEIR PRECINCT VOTING SITE ON ELECTION DAY.
THE GOAL OF TH HEARING IS TO FIND WAYS TO SHORTEN LINES AT POLLING PLACES AND MAKE THE PROCESS OF VOTING MORE EFFICIENT.
