Ken Ortiz, the chief of staff at the New Mexico secretary of state’s office, said some noncitizens have contacted the state asking why they received the forms when they’d previ- ously been told that they could not vote. ``We fear that some of these individ- uals who receive this mailing may feel that they are being encouraged to vote by our office or county government,’’ Ortiz said. The mailings appear official, arriv- ing in privacy envelopes with the headline ``VOTER REGISTRATION DOCUMENTS ENCLOSED.’’ Some information is already completed on the voter registration papers, and recipients also get an envelope to send completed forms to local elections officials. Election leaders in Florida, another major swing state, also said they were receiving complaints about applica- tions going to dead people, nonciti- zens, minors and pets. The Voter Participation Center works with a vendor that has access to multiple commercial databases that could include people who subscribe to magazines or junk mail using names of their pet, said Page Gardner, the group’s president. She said the non- profit tries its best to target only eligi- ble and unregistered voters but that some other names inevitably get on the final list. ``Is it a perfect process? No,’’ Gard- ner said. Ultimately, she said they rely on the integrity of people and the secu- rity of the system and notes that the same forms are available to anyone at county offices or on the Internet. The Voter Participation Center says it is trying to increase participation among minorities, unmarried women and people under the age of 30, with Gardner saying that those groups have historically been underrepresented in the election process.
