HOUSE EXECUTIVE MESSAGE NO.  18

 

 

The Honorable Ben Lujan and

Members of the House of Representatives

Executive-Legislative Building

Santa Fe, New Mexico 87503

 

Honorable Speaker and Members of the House:

 

I have this day VETOED and am returning HOUSE BILL 349, enacted by the Forty-Fifth Legislature, First Session, 2001.

 

This bill provides that in-person absentee voting may be conducted until 5:00 p.m. on the Saturday immediately prior to the election.  I have signed into law House Bill 484, which duplicates this provision and is in direct conflict with the bill I have signed.

Sincerely,         

 

 

          Gary E. Johnson         

Governor
