Can't Vote Won't Vote

Marisa Demarco / ¾ÅÉ«Íø
Albuquerque Museum polling location, 2017

 

Let’s Talk New Mexico 10/4 8am: Around the country, , and people are predicting the midterms in November will see a big turnout. Still, —even folks who are registered—don’t cast their ballots. Are you planning not to vote? Do you distrust politicians, government and the two-party political process? Are you tired of extreme rhetoric and ideological divisions? Do you dislike negative campaign ads? Are you frustrated with who’s on your ballot?

Or maybe you really wish you could vote this year, but you can't for legal reasons or you can't access the polls. What's standing in your way? We want to hear from. Email LetsTalk@kunm.org, tweet #letstalkNM or call in live during the show.
