A Vote Early rally on October 17, 2026, from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM at the intersection of White Sands Blvd. and 10th Street has been scheduled. You can sign up for this event at https://www.nokings.org. Organizers ask that you register so that they can document attendance and to help them with planning, but registration is not required to attend the event.Local organizers describe this as a celebration of the power of the people to dictate the destiny of our nation and our lives. When the rally winds down at 11:00 the plan is that everyone move, en masse, to the Otero County Fairgrounds to cast their votes, showing that the citizens of Otero County want a change from the trajectory we have been suffering through for the last two years.Local activists, those folks you’ve seen rallying at the corner of White Sands Blvd. and Tenth Street for the last two years, will be out on that day, between 9:00 AM and 11:00 AM. They ask that you join them in sending this message to the Trump Administration: our voices will be heard; our votes will be counted. Group organizers say they have extra signs but encourage you to make your voice heard by creating your own message. Please wear sunscreen and bring enough water for yourself.  Local organizers emphasize their commitment to non-violent action and expect all participants to avoid and de-escalate any confrontation.  For more information: https://www.nokings.org,
