UNIFORM STATE RULES OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY OF NEW MEXICO from the Republican Party of New Mexico.


No later than 15 February 2024, the Chief Justice of the New Mexico Supreme Court will chair a committee meeting to nominate and certify to the Secretary of State the names of all presidential candidates "generally advocated and nationally recognized or supported by any major political party in the state as candidates of the major political parties participating in the presidential primary."

16 March 2024: Presidential candidate petition filing deadline (alternative to the committee meeting).


   

Circa April 2024 (date not set): Republican Party Ward/Precinct Caucuses meet to choose the precinct's delegates to the County Convention. [Uniform State Rules of the Republican Party of New Mexico, Article 4-2-1(A)]

  • There is no formal system applied in the Precinct Caucuses to relate the presidential preference of the Caucus participants to the choice of the precinct's delegates to the County Convention. The participants at each Precinct Caucus alone determine if presidential preference is to be a factor in such choice and, if so, how it is to be applied.
 

Circa May 2024 (date not set): County Conventions meet to elect delegates to the State Convention. [Article 3-2-1(A)].

  • There is no formal system applied in the County Conventions to relate the presidential preference of the Convention participants to the choice of the Convention's delegates to the State Convention. The participants at each County Convention alone determine if presidential preference is to be a factor in such choice and, if so, how it is to be applied.
 

This Presidential Primary coincides with a state/local primary. These coinciding primaries tend to have an impact upon voter turnout.

Tuesday 4 June 2024 (presumably): New Mexico Primary. Hours reportedly 7:00a-7:00p MDT (1300-0100 UTC). Delegate Binding: Proportional Primary. Voter Eligibility: Closed Primary. NON-COMPLIANT DATE

All 22 of New Mexico's delegates to the Republican National Convention are bound to presidential contenders based on the results of the voting in today's New Mexico Presidential Primary.

  • 22 National Convention delegates are to be bound proportionally to presidential contenders receiving 15% or more of the primary vote statewide.
  • For those candidates (who received 15% or more of the statewide vote) multiply the total number of delegates (22) by the candidate's vote and divide by the total number of votes (for those candidates who received 15% or more of the statewide vote). Round to the nearest whole number. In the event a delegate is unallocated due to rounding, the unallocated delegate goes to the candidate closest to the rounding threshold. If too many delegates are allocated, the over allocated delegates are removed from the candidate furthest from the rounding threshold. [New Mexico Statutes §1-15A-9(c)(1); Uniform State Rules of the Republican Party of New Mexico 2-2-10. E. 1. & 2.]
