City of Sunland Park GO Bond Questions Will Not Appear on November 3 Ballot

City plans special election for spring 2027

SUNLAND PARK, N.M. — The three General Obligation Bond questions approved by the Sunland Park City Council will not appear on the November 3, 2026 general election ballot. City staff confirmed the issue on October 30.

The City Council approved the questions in Resolution 2026-85 on August 18, 2026. City staff filed the resolution with the Doña Ana County Clerk's Office on August 21, 2026. The City has asked the County Clerk's Office for a full review of why the questions were not included.

The City is working with its bond counsel and financial advisor to bring the bond questions to voters at a special election in spring 2027. The date will be announced once it is set.

What this means for voters

The November 3 general election goes forward as scheduled. All other races and questions on the ballot are not affected.
Residents who have already voted do not need to take any action.
City mailers, posters and other materials listed the bond questions on the November 3 ballot. That information is out of date, and the City is updating it.
Updates on the special election will be posted at sunlandpark-nm.gov/go-bond.

“Residents were expecting to see these questions on their ballots, and we owe them a clear explanation. We are working to find out what happened and to give voters the chance to decide on these projects in the spring.”
— Mario Juarez-Infante, PE, City Manager

Resolution 2026-85 is available on the City's website.
