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 primary elections, thereby broadening participation and inclusivity in the electoral process.

The proposed amendment will be presented to the public for approval or rejection during the next general election or at any special election called for this purpose prior to that date. This change seeks to enhance democratic engagement by ensuring that all voters, regardless of their political affiliations, have a voice in determining which candidates will appear on the general election ballot.
