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 streamline the electoral process by eliminating the requirement that school elections occur at different times, thereby potentially increasing voter participation and simplifying the election schedule.

The resolution outlines that all qualified electors, as defined by U.S. law and New Mexico statutes, will retain their voting rights, with certain restrictions based on felony convictions or mental incapacity. It also grants the legislature the authority to regulate voter registration and the conduct of elections, ensuring the integrity and secrecy of the voting process. 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.
