Local non-partisan elections will be held Tuesday Nov. 5. According to an article on the county website, the 2018 Legislature passed HB 98 which establishes a statewide Local Election for non-partisan officers and local government ballot questions. It combines all local elections into one election in odd numbered years. This Nov. 5, 2019 will be the first ever Local Election in Catron County. That means the Village of Reserve, Quemado and Reserve School Districts, and all Soil and Water Conservation Districts will participate. Voters will vote ballots applicable for the area in which they live. In Glenwood, voting will be held at Glenwood Community Center, 14 Menges Lane.
