Brief: “Standard in-person voting would force the people of New Mexico to choose between their safety and the exercise of their franchise.”

In times of crisis, civic participation becomes more crucial -- not less. Let's work together to make sure this public health emergency does not disenfranchise anyone.

At the beginning of our 54th Legislative Session, Common Cause New Mexico set our top priority to secure the funding needed for our newly created State Ethics Commission. We also supported legislation to modernize and improve our legislative structure, to reduce conflicts of interests by sending an amendment to the voters to allow for a professional and paid legislature and to increase our lowest-in-the-country judicial salaries and while some of these bills weren’t successful this session, we will keep them moving through the interim committee process to introduce again next year.
