STATE HOLIDAY TO VOTE

SB 200 designates the first Tuesday in November (election day) as a new public holiday called "State Holiday to Vote" in New Mexico. This would require state government offices and public institutions to close on that date, directly affecting state employees and public services operating on legal holidays. The bill amends New Mexico's legal holidays statute to add this designation as a specific holiday. The bill was introduced in January 2025 but was postponed indefinitely by the Senate on June 3, 2025, and is not yet law.
