What to know about New Mexico’s 2026 elections

Offices on the 2026 ballot

New Mexico voters will choose one U.S. senator for a six-year term, all three members of the U.S. House, a governor, a secretary of state, a lieutenant governor and an attorney general on Nov. 3, 2026.

The NBC News election page identifies Democrat Ben Lujan and Republican write-in candidate Larry Marker in the Senate contest.

For governor, it lists Democrat Deb Haaland and Republican Greggory Hull. For secretary of state, it lists Democrat Amanda López Askin and Republican Ramona Goolsby.

For lieutenant governor, it lists Democrat Maggie Toulouse Oliver and Republican David Gallegos. For attorney general, it lists Democrat Raul Torrez and Republican Samuel Kane.

All three congressional districts are up for election, as they are every two years.

How New Mexico voted for president

New Mexico backed the Democratic presidential nominee in each of the three most recent elections covered by the results.

In 2024, Kamala Harris received 51.9% of the New Mexico vote and Donald Trump received 45.9%, a six-point margin. The state had five electoral votes, and its margin for Harris was the 15th-largest among the 50 states.

The Democratic and Republican shares were 54.3% and 43.5% in 2020, respectively. In 2016, they were 48.3% and 40%.

That presidential history offers context for voters, but the 2026 ballot concerns federal and state offices rather than a presidential race.
