Read from the official Otero County sample ballot, style 001-03 (accessed Oct 26, 2026). That copy is hosted by a third-party voter guide, kimmonson.com. We use only the ballot itself, not the guide's recommendations. The ballot states there are no candidates for County Surveyor. It also asks whether Otero County Court Judge William Culver should be retained. Commissioner District 2 is elected countywide.
District court judges (by judicial district), legislative and congressional races depend on your address; see the Secretary of State list.
