House Joint Memorial 10 requests the Higher Education Department of New Mexico to conduct a study on strategies to promote lifelong voting among students in public schools, colleges, and universities. The memorial highlights the importance of automatic voter registration and its role in removing barriers to voter registration, particularly for younger voters aged eighteen to twenty-four, who historically have lower participation rates in elections. It emphasizes the need for educational institutions to foster civic engagement and encourage students to take part in the democratic process.

The memorial further instructs the Higher Education Department to collaborate with political scientists to explore the role of public institutions in enhancing civic engagement and to develop a legislative proposal aimed at improving youth voter turnout based on the study's findings. Additionally, it calls for the distribution of copies of the memorial to relevant state officials, including the secretaries of public education, higher education, and state.
