What We're Doing

New Mexico has adopted Semi-Open Primaries!

Legislation

New Mexico has adopted Semi-Open Primaries!

Semi-open Primaries (Senate Bill 16) passed the NM Legislature in the 2025 regular session and will be implemented in time for the June 2026 primary elections.

This legislation allows independent and minor-party voters to participate in publicly-funded primary elections by selecting a ballot of the major political party of their choice to vote on, without changing their registration!
Election Protection

National Campaign

Election Protection

No eligible New Mexican voter should face intimidation, misinformation or harassment at their polling place. We've expanded our program, mobilizing volunteers to answer questions and assist voters.
Lobbyist Disclosures

New York

Lobbyist Disclosures

When well-connected lobbyists wield too much power and influence, everyday New Mexicans are shut out of the process.
Disclosure and Transparency

Nebraska Campaign

Disclosure and Transparency

Voters across the political spectrum support strong disclosure laws. New Mexicans deserve to know who is trying to influence our government with secret money.
Fair Courts

Wisconsin Campaign

Fair Courts

We believe that independent, fair, and impartial courts that reflect our state’s diversity are essential for democracy.
