SB16 passed in the New Mexico House of Representatives on Friday, March 21, 2025, by a 36-33 vote. The bill already had passed in the New Mexico Senate, so it is headed to the Governor’s desk.

The bill allows people who are not registered with a political party in New Mexico to choose the political party ballot of their choice when voting in a primary election.

Here is a link to the legislation.
