New Mexico 17-Year-Olds Can Vote in June 7, 2016 Primaries

New Mexico holds primaries, including presidential primaries, for the Democratic and Republican Parties on June 7. According to this story, the Secretary of State has confirmed that 17-year-olds who will be age 18 by November 8 can vote in those primaries. The legislature passed a bill permitting them to do this earlier this year, but there had been uncertainty about whether the new law applies to this year’s primaries.
