Bill to partially open New Mexico primaries reaches governor
The New Mexico House advanced Senate Bill 16 to Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham, allowing decline-to-state and minor party voters to participate in Democratic or Republican primaries. The measure would keep closed primaries at parties’ costs and requires re registration deadlines. Proponents cite higher turnout while opponents warn of strategic voting and chaos in close contests. Governor Grisham must sign by April 11.
