HJR 10 New Mexico House · 2025 Regular Session

ALLOW VOTING WITH FELONY CONVICTION, CA

This bill proposes amending New Mexico's constitution to remove felony convictions as a barrier to voting. It would allow individuals with felony convictions to vote again once they've completed their sentences, provided they meet other standard voter requirements like residency and registration. The amendment would change the constitution's language to eliminate the current restriction on voting rights for people convicted of felonies. If approved by voters, this change would directly affect thousands of New Mexicans who are otherwise eligible to vote but were previously barred due to past felony convictions. The resolution must be approved by voters at the next general election to take effect.
