AI Summary
This bill establishes a permanent absentee voter list in New Mexico, allowing any registered voter to request to be added to the list and automatically receive a mailed ballot for each statewide election. Voters can be removed from the list for reasons like failing to return ballots in two consecutive elections, having mail returned as undeliverable, or updating their voter registration outside the county. The bill also outlines procedures for maintaining the list and issuing permanent absentee ballots, including that unaffiliated voters will not automatically receive a primary election ballot unless they update their registration. The bill would take effect on January 1, 2024.
