Early voting in the special election to fill the vacant seat in the U.S. House of Representatives for New Mexico Congressional District 1 began on Tuesday, May 4.
The congressional district includes a small part of Valencia County â voting precincts 6, 16, 22, 28, 49, 50, 56 and 60 â on the east side of the county.
Communities in those precincts include Meadow Lake, Monterey Park, El Cerro Mission, Cypress Gardens and El Cerro.
The seat became vacant when Rep. Deb Haaland left the position when she was selected as Secretary of the Interior earlier this year, and now a special election must be held to fill her seat for the remainder of her term.
