Greetings,

On April 6, 2021, Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham signed Senate Bill 304
(55th Legis., 1st Sess. 2021). Senate Bill 304 includes the Redistricting
Act. The Redistricting Act creates the Citizen Redistricting Committee (CRC
or Committee), which is comprised of major-party members and
non-major-party members. The State Ethics Commission has the responsibility
to select the Chair of the Committee, who must be a retired Justice of the
New Mexico Supreme Court or a retired Court of Appeals Judge, and two
non-major-party members. To view a copy of the Redistricting Act, click

The application period is now open for the Chair and non-major-party
positions. The Commission is reaching out to individuals, organizations,
and networks across the state to identify people who are interested in
serving as members of the Citizen Redistricting Committee. If you are
interested in serving as a member of the Citizen Redistricting Committee,
please complete the Commission’s application survey linked here:
