This year's elections are expected to see a significant increase in voter turnout compared to the last local elections.
The presidential election last year drew massive voter turnout due to high enthusiasm, but municipal elections typically receive less attention, even with key positions like the city's top job on the ballot.
The top two candidates in this year's election are Incumbent Mayor Tim Keller and Darren White, according to Research and Polling, a local polling firm based in Albuquerque, as published by the Albuquerque Journal.
A notable voting location is the Your Vote Center in Albuquerque.
