All 33 counties · General election Tuesday, Nov 3, 2026
New Mexico has 33 counties. In 2026 county ballots carry the sheriff, assessor, probate judge and some county commission seats, plus magistrate judges and district (and, in Bernalillo, metropolitan) court judges, either in partisan races or for retention. County clerks and treasurers are elected in presidential years.
The Secretary of State certifies county candidates, but Vote Book has not yet copied an official county list, so every New Mexico page uses Ballotpedia's county page, labeled as a secondary source. School board and municipal races are held separately in New Mexico's November regular local election in odd-numbered years.
