laws of the United States and a citizen thereof shall be qualified to vote
in all elections in New Mexico, subject to residency and registration
requirements provided by law, except as restricted by statute either by
reason of criminal conviction for a felony or by reason of mental
incapacity, being limited only to those persons who are unable to mark
their ballot and who are concurrently also unable to communicate their
voting preference. The legislature may enact laws providing for absentee
voting by qualified electors. All school elections shall be held at
different times from partisan elections.

B. The legislature shall have the power to require the registration of the
qualified electors as a requisite for voting and shall regulate the manner,
time and places of voting. The legislature shall enact such laws as will
secure the secrecy of the ballot and the purity of elections and guard
against the abuse of elective franchise. Not more than two members of the
board of registration and not more than two judges of election shall belong
to the same political party at the time of their appointment. (As amended
