Bill Summary
AN ACT RELATING TO ELECTIONS; PROHIBITING THE SECRETARY OF STATE OR A COUNTY CLERK FROM SENDING NOTIFICATIONS OF ELIGIBILITY OR POTENTIAL ELIGIBILITY TO REGISTER TO VOTE IN THIS STATE TO PERSONS WHO ARE NOT CITIZENS OF THE UNITED STATES.
AI Summary
This bill prohibits the Secretary of State and county clerks in New Mexico from sending voter registration eligibility notifications to non-U.S. citizens, either individually or as part of a group. Specifically, the bill adds a new section to the state's Election Code that explicitly bars election officials from sending any communications about potential voter registration to people who are not United States citizens. The law would take effect on July 1, 2025, giving state and county election offices time to update their notification procedures. By preventing voter registration notifications from being sent to non-citizens, the bill aims to reinforce existing voter eligibility requirements and ensure that only U.S. citizens are invited or encouraged to register to vote in New Mexico elections.
