Voters should have the right to recall an elected official. Now is the time to make your voice heard!
HJR 12 is a proposed Constitutional Amendment which would allow the recall of elected officials in New Mexico. Many people have asked how we can stop the Governor's overreach of power, and this is one answer!
HJR12 would allow the citizens of New Mexico to RECALL elected officials. A petition signed by 25% of the number of voters (from the election in which the official was voted into office) would be followed by a special election where the recall would be voted on. This puts the power to stop abuses of power back in the hands of the people, right where it belongs, and would help with potential future problems as well.
Please use the form to the right to send an email to key legislators and committee members that will be voting on this constitutional amendment. The Legislative Session is moving fast so time is of the essence. It takes 30 seconds to send an email - please do it NOW.
If you have more time available, please also CALL your Representative and Senator to ask them to support HJR12. You can look up their phone numbers here: https://www.nmlegis.gov/Members/Find_My_Legislator
