This joint resolution proposes an amendment to Article 7, Section 1 of the New Mexico Constitution, aiming to eliminate the requirement that school elections be held separately from partisan elections. The amendment seeks to clarify the qualifications for voting in New Mexico, stating that all qualified electors, as defined by U.S. law, are eligible to vote in all elections, including school elections, provided they meet residency and registration requirements. It also outlines the legislature's authority to regulate voter registration, voting procedures, and to ensure the integrity and secrecy of the ballot.

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. This change is intended to streamline the electoral process and potentially increase voter participation in school elections by aligning them with partisan election schedules.
