NOTICE OF VOTING ELIGIBILITY TO NON-CITIZENS

SB 453 prohibits New Mexico's Secretary of State and county clerks from sending voter registration eligibility notices to non-U.S. citizens. The bill would have amended the Election Code to block such notifications to individuals who are not U.S. citizens or to groups containing non-citizens. It specifically targets the mailing of materials that might suggest non-citizens could register to vote, though it does not affect actual voter registration eligibility. The bill was introduced in 2025 but was postponed indefinitely by the Senate Judiciary Committee on June 3, 2025, and did not advance.
