The primary process is confusing to many of us. I am wading through the process my state uses, and it is clear...as mud. The devil is in the little details that are missing, like the fact that not all polling places will be the same as usual. If I want to vote in the primary here I will have to do absentee ballot, and wonder if my vote is counted or drive 240 miles round trip to the polling place. Our normal polling place here will not be open for the primary. The odd thing is if you look on the Sec. of State website it shows our normal polling place as being where to go, but that is not correct.
I have voted regularly, but not in Presidential primaries because the choice was already made before our primary so I did not see the point of driving so far to vote.
It is news to most people I talk to that regular polling places may not be where you go to vote in the primary, the whole system may be new to most since our primary vote for President in many states has never mattered before.
I would assume if you live in a state that normally matters in the primary process you would be more familiar with how it all works.
You are in New Mexico, right.
It looks rather vague, but there are some key dates listed on this website. Be sure to scroll down the page.

I went to your SOS NM site and there was a link for maps and boundary adjustments and phone numbers for help.

I’ve lived in a few states and have typically not had a problem with finding the poll. It’s the bureaucratic vote fraud that has become a pet peeve.
