The Election Infrastructure Bill (SB 180), includes provisions to modernize and enhance New Mexico’s election infrastructure. Together, these bills demonstrate that expanding ballot access while enhancing ballot integrity can happen simultaneously.<br><br>The NM Voting Rights Act includes provisions to restore voting rights for formerly incarcerated individuals; strengthen New Mexico’s automatic voter registration system; create a permanent absentee ballot list and expand the use of secure ballot drop boxes; and most notably, a provision titled the Native American Voting Rights Act, the first of its kind in the entire country. The NAVRA portion of this bill protects ballot access for our Indigenous, tribal, and Pueblo communities throughout New Mexico by ensuring they have input on polling locations.<br><br>SB 180 brings New Mexico’s election infrastructure further into the 21st century and allows candidates to pursue digital petition collection options, making this process more equitable and more aligned with campaign practices of today. It creates more layers of protection to ensure the integrity of absentee ballots and reflect the growing preference for absentee voting nationally. It also creates a more substantive process by which New Mexico’s elections are audited to ensure accurate and reliable results, while also including provisions for local officials to verify and streamline those and related processes.<br><br><b><i>Impact: </i></b>The Secretary of State’s office will use funds from the Help America Vote Act to conduct a study in partnership with the University of New Mexico’s political science department to measure policy impact, voter trends, and voter perceptions of New Mexico’s election practices.<br><br><b><i>Current Status: </i></b>I’m so pleased to report that both of these bills were passed by our Legislature, signed by our governor, and my office recently completed its rule-making process for both. There are some provisions that will be phased in over time, but the rest are in full effect today.<br><br><b><i>Other Notes: </i></b>These bills, mainly the NM Voting Rights Act, attracted a fair bit of national attention to help New Mexico secure its status as a leader on democratic practices.<br><br><hr><br><h3 id="2-jefferson-countys-innovative-approach-redefining-redistricting-for-community-engagement">2.

In a democracy, there’s no liberty more fundamental than the right for voters to freely choose who represents them. The new county redistricting policy and practice in Jefferson County resulted in one of the most inclusive and engaging processes in all of Colorado.<br><br>The process was guided by three principles: accessibility, inclusion, and legal compliance. Rather than drawing lines in a back room out of the public eye, the clerk and recorder’s office created a policy that created maps with public input, provided virtual and in-person ways for the public to have their voice heard, and ultimately drew the final version of a map in front of a public audience.<br><br>Impact: The process resulted in increased public engagement, including reaching over 17,000 people virtually and in person at public meetings at geographically diverse locations that were ADA accessible. The clerk and recorder’s office provided the county commissioners and the public with a preliminary map to consider and revised the map to include feedback from community members. The commissioners then made final edits to the map during a public meeting.<br><br><b><i>Current Status: </i></b>This idea has been implemented.<br><br><hr><br><h3 id="3-empowering-voters-delaware-proposes-comprehensive-election-information-mail-out">3.
