Process thumb|right|New Mexico is announced as part of the roll call of the states during the third day of the 2008 Democratic National Convention in Denver, Colorado. Rather than announcing its distribution of delegate votes, the state would yield to Illinois, which would in turn yield to New York as part of an effort to promote party unity. Although mass media called New Mexico's nominating contest as a caucus, the format was that of a party-run closed primary.The Albuquerque Tribune http://www.abqtrib.com/news/2008/jan/29/low-turnout-expected-new-mexico-caucus dead https://web.archive.org/web/20080208113656/http://www.abqtrib.com/news/2008/jan/29/low-turnout-expected-new-mexico-caucus/ 2008-02-08 Eligible voters included all registered Democrats as of January 4, 2008.
