Constitutional Amendment 2 - School Elections Timing

Summary

Constitutional Amendment 2, passed by the legislature in 2026, would amend Article 7, Section 1 of the Constitution of New Mexico to remove the requirement that school elections be held separately from partisan elections. If the amendment is approved, school districts would have the opportunity to add bond and mill levy questions to ballots in a partisan election such as the regular general election. It would also give the legislature the authority to allow local school board elections to be held with partisan elections.
