New Mexico Secretary of State
Bernalillo County Clerk issues Three Absentee Ballots to Deceased Voters Suspicious Ballots taken to Secretary of State Secretary of State Turns Evidence Over to FBI FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Office of the Secretary of State November 3, 2014 Contact: Ken Ortiz Office: (505) 827-3661 Cell: 239-5022 SANTA FE—This morning an Albuquerque man notified the Secretary of State’s office claiming that the Bernalillo County Clerk’s office had mailed absentee ballots to three deceased voters. The man had the ballots in his possession and took them to the Office of the Secretary of State. On examining the ballots, the ballot request information, and verifying that at least two of the designated ballot recipients were in fact deceased, officials at the Secretary of State’s office immediately notified the FBI. The FBI quickly responded. Arriving at the Office of the Secretary of State around 11:30 AM this morning, an FBI agent seized the ballots. Bureau of Elections Director Bobbi Shearer stated, “As soon as we confirmed the facts provided to us, I immediately notified [Secretary of State] Dianna Duran who then directed me to notify the FBI.” The Secretary of State’s office reminds voters to be vigilant while signing in to vote, as elections officials have no legal means of actually verifying signatures or confirming the identification of any voter. If voters have any concerns or wish to report an irregularity of any kind, they are encouraged to call the toll free number at the Secretary of State’s office: (800) 477-3632.

New Website Promotes Volunteering
System will manage and measure valuable volunteering hours
Albuquerque- Today, Mayor Richard J. Berry announced a new volunteer website that will expedite the process of volunteering with the City of Albuquerque. This website, found at volunteer.cabq.gov, will work as a one-stop shop for City volunteers by both managing volunteer opportunities and recording hours logged by our generous volunteers.
Each year, the City of Albuquerque has about 7,000 volunteers that donate nearly 50,000 hours of expertise to City facilities and programs. From Animal Welfare to the BioPark, volunteers play an integral role in the operation of the City.
The new website allows those wishing to volunteer to research and register for opportunities that fit into their schedules. Individuals can personalize their search by interest, time commitment, duration, and location. The software tracks, manages, and maintains volunteering hours. Previously, there was not a uniform way for the city to track hours of service for the thousands of volunteers we host. Now, the city is able to keep a record of this for the benefit of the volunteer, the city’s operations, and reporting of volunteer value to the public.
Another benefit of volunteer.cabq.gov is that it allows better tracking for volunteer rewards opportunities throughout the city. For example, volunteers within the Open Space Division of Parks and Recreation receive a hat as a form of recognition for their work after they log a certain number of hours. The software allows the hours logged by volunteers to be automatically tracked, so the value of these volunteers is immediately seen.
The software was purchased from Samaritan Technologies. First-year costs for implementation total $33,000. In subsequent years, the cost drops to $10,000 annually. After first year costs, this software equates to approximately $1.42 per volunteer for the current 7,000 city volunteers. It is likely that the City of Albuquerque could see an increase in volunteerism with the ease that this new website brings.
To view the website visit Volunteer.cabq.gov or access it through the 311 APP

Las Cruces
Motel Boulevard and Amador Avenue Fire Flow Test
The City of Las Cruces Utilities will conduct a flow test on two fire hydrants in the Motel Blvd and Amador Avenue area. The test will be performed on Tuesday, March 31, beginning at 10 p.m. The action could create discolored water for residents West of Valley Drive, and between Picacho Avenue and Amador Avenue.
Residents may notice discolored water due to iron, manganese, and calcium deposits. Although the water is safe to drink, the City recommends waiting to wash laundry until after the water becomes clear.
The discoloration should disappear within 24 hours. If it does not, residents should flush all faucets in the house or business for five minutes. If the discoloration remains, call the City of Las Cruces at 575/526-0500 for assistance. The TTY number is 575/541-2182.
