Body
Sections of the New Mexico State Law 1-13-1 and 1-13-3, state: "The board of county commissioners is ex officio the county canvassing board in each county and the county canvassing board shall meet within three days after the election and proceed to canvass the returns of the election". The Los Alamos County Charter, Article VI, Nominations and Elections, section 600.3 Canvass Committee, states "The returns of every election shall be canvassed and certified to the Council by a Canvassing Committee consisting of three persons to be appointed by the Council. No person shall be appointed to the Committee unless he is a resident and a registered voter of the County. No more than two of the members of the Committee shall be members of the same political party. No person who is a candidate at an election to be canvassed by the Committee shall serve on the Committee. The Committee shall serve at the pleasure of the Council.
On May 2, 2017, the County Council appointed the following individuals to the Canvass Committee: Shelby L. Redondo [D] , Joseph A. D'Anna [D], and Jane M. Gordon [R].
