From the Office of the Secretary of State:

SANTA FE – The 2025 New Mexico legislative session saw the passage of multiple bills that add stability, transparency, and safety to New Mexico’s elections.

Secretary of State Maggie Toulouse Oliver released the following statement today after the conclusion of the legislative session:

“I commend the successful passage of multiple bills during the 2025 legislative session that will further enhance the quality of New Mexico’s already top-ranked elections,”  Secretary  Toulouse Oliver said. “With bills to allow semi-open primaries (SB 16), increased lobbyist reporting (HB 143), and removing conservancy districts from the Regular Local Election (HB 308), voters and election administrators have more ways to participate and more tools at their disposal. I’m grateful for the hard work put in by the bill sponsors, advocates, and the members of my staff to support the passage of these bills. I look forward to Governor Lujan Grisham signing these important pieces of legislation into law.”
