- These are 2024 counts. 2024 was a presidential year, and 2026 timing can differ. Nothing on this page predicts when any 2026 race will be known.
- Percentages are of each unit’s final 2024 count, not of the votes cast in 2026. A county’s share is of that county’s own final count.
- This page shows no results and no live data. Call the Map does not run an election-night results page.
The count by the hour, election night 2024
The biggest counties, and when each was in
| County | Of the state’s vote | By 9 PM | By 11 PM | By 1 AM | Past 90% by |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bernalillo | 34% | none | 78% | 91% | 1 AM |
| Dona Ana | 9% | none | 60% | 92% | 1 AM |
| Santa Fe | 9% | none | 75% | 90% | 2 AM |
| Sandoval | 9% | none | 69% | 88% | 2 AM |
Each percentage is of that county’s own final count, not of the state’s. “none” means the feed showed no votes yet; “not measured” means the feed did not carry the county’s count at that time, which is not the same as zero. A time after 2:37 AM is the first archived copy at that level; the archive has no copy between 2:37 AM and 2:37 PM on Nov. 6, so the count may have passed it earlier.
What comes late, and why
Fast. AP: first 2020 votes at 9:24 p.m. ET and about 78% reported by midnight ET. The fetched sources do not describe the order of vote types.
Sources: AP Decision Notes: What to expect in New Mexico on Election Day (AP, syndicated by iNFOnews). These describe the 2020, 2022 and 2024 elections and the rules in force when they were read; they are not a statement about 2026.

Sources and method
- Counts
- The New York Times presidential county results feed (Associated Press data), President only, as the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine kept it. Copies used: 7:59 PM ET Nov. 5 to 10:46 PM ET Dec. 5. The archive has no capture of this feed between 2:37 AM and 2:37 PM ET on Nov 6 2024; a state still counting at 2:37 AM is not measured again until the afternoon (and only the 16 states with an 'after' point carry later captures).
- Final count
- The same feed's last archived capture, 2025-01-06T22:21:00-05:00 (statewide 923,403). It is the feed’s last archived value, not a certified canvass.
- Capture times
- Kept to the minute (the research file kept capture times to the minute; the Wayback address resolves to the nearest capture).
