This joint resolution proposes an amendment to Article 7, Section 1 of the New Mexico Constitution, allowing school elections to be held concurrently with partisan elections. The amendment aims to modify the existing provision that mandates school elections occur at different times from partisan elections, thereby streamlining the electoral process and potentially increasing voter participation in school-related decisions.
If approved, the amendment will be presented to the public for a vote during the next general election or any special election called before that date. The resolution emphasizes the importance of maintaining the integrity of the electoral process while expanding opportunities for qualified electors to participate in both school and partisan elections.
