This joint resolution proposes an amendment to Article 7, Section 1 of the New Mexico Constitution, aiming to eliminate felony convictions as a disqualifier for voting. The amendment stipulates that every qualified elector who is a citizen of the United States and meets residency and registration requirements shall be eligible to vote in all elections in New Mexico. The only exceptions to this eligibility would be for individuals deemed mentally incapacitated, specifically those unable to mark their ballot or communicate their voting preferences.

The resolution also empowers the New Mexico legislature to establish laws regarding voter registration, the conduct of elections, and the protection of ballot secrecy. The proposed amendment will be presented to the public for approval or rejection during the next general election or any special election called for that purpose before then.
