Polls have opened in Albuquerque for municipal elections, and city officials are hoping for a solid voter turnout. A lot of that has to do with the issues on tap. There are a handful of municipal elections to be decided, in the even number districts. But voters instead appear to be focused on two things – the red light camera program and Bond Issue 12, which combines two major projects – a Paseo Del Norte interchange renovation and a new sports complex. We want to remind people – voting "no" on the cameras doesn't mean the program will instantly stop. The city council will make the final decision. We caught up with the mayor, who says public opinion carries a lot of weight and will certainly influence the council's vote. As for Bond Issue 12, voting "yes" on the bond will approve the $50 million project. Don't forget, this year you can vote at an of the 49 polling place locations across Albuquerque.
