Summary of New Mexico Election Law Bills that Passed and Failed This Year

The New Mexico Political Report has this useful summary of important election law bills that passed this year in the legislature, and those that failed.

The article mentions HB 407, but implies that it doesn’t change anything of importance. Actually HB 407, the omnibus election law bill, made big improvements for ballot access for independent candidates. So far it is the only bill that has passed the legislature of any state this year that eases ballot access, except for the New York bill that cut the primary petitions for 2019 primaries (but not primaries in future years).
