About the CNM GO Bond 3

Voters in New Mexico regularly have the opportunity to vote on General Obligation (GO) bonds. GO bonds provide needed funding for infrastructure projects throughout the state.

This November 5, voters will be able to vote on the Central New Mexico Community College GO Bond 3. If it passes, the GO Bond would provide $16 million for critical projects at multiple CNM locations throughout Bernalillo County and Sandoval County.
