This joint resolution proposes an amendment to Article 7 of the New Mexico Constitution, allowing all registered qualified voters to participate in state-funded primary elections without regard to their party affiliation or preference. The amendment aims to enable these voters to select candidates of their choice in voter-nomination primary elections, thereby broadening access to the electoral process and promoting inclusivity.

The proposed amendment will be presented to the public for approval or rejection during the next general election or at any special election that may be convened for this purpose before that date. This initiative seeks to enhance democratic participation by ensuring that all voters, regardless of their political affiliations, can engage in the primary election process.
