New Mexico defines a qualified party as a group that polls .5% for president or Governor. Unofficial returns show the Green Party has .494% for President, 53 votes short. But that may change when the results are final.
The other minor parties lost qualified status. They were the Libertarian, Socialism & Liberation, and Free New Mexico Parties.
Wouldn’t the New Mexico Libertarian Party, now no longer affiliated with the national LP, retain ballot access due to their gubernatorial candidate receiving greater than .5% in 2022?
Also, shouldn’t PSL and the LP affiliate Free New Mexico Party retain status for 2026 since they petitioned for 2024?
They didn’t have to find 11,780 votes, but they found the votes.
