New Mexico Top-Two Bill Loses in House Committee

On February 10, the New Mexico House Local Government, Elections, Land Grants & Cultural Affairs Committee declined to pass HJR 6, the proposed constitutional amendment for a top-two system. The analysis said the measure, if enacted, would lead to a longer primary ballot, because the names of candidates from all parties, plus all independent candidates, would be printed on that single primary ballot. Also the analysis said separate presidential primary ballots for each of the three parties entitled to a presidential primary would still be needed.
