Summary

The measure amends New Mexico’s election code to permit a voter to sign more than one nominating petition for the same office, reduces the number of signatures independent candidates must gather, and requires the secretary of state to create a secure internet platform for electronic signatures. It also updates petition forms and rules for minor parties, independents, and presidential primary petitions. The changes aim to broaden participation and simplify ballot access.
