Impact of redistricting

See also: Redistricting in New Mexico

The New Mexico Legislature is responsible for redistricting state offices, including state legislative and Congressional districts.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, New Mexico's population increased from 1.82 million in 2000 to 2.06 million in 2010. Population growth over the decade was concentrated geographically along the Rio Grande, including the cities of Santa Fe, Albuquerque, and Las Cruces. The eastern part of the state experienced little population growth.

The Legislature passed new maps on September 23, 2011; Gov. Susana Martinez (R) vetoed both Democratic-controlled chambers' maps on October 6. With that, a state court took charge of steering the redistricting process; while the Senate compromise map passed through with relative ease, the court-drawn House map was struck down by the New Mexico Supreme Court and sent back. Even though the second court-issued map -- drawn up by the Governor -- was not as generous to Republicans, it was considered more beneficial to them than the map originally passed by the Legislature; Judge James Hall, who issued the map, considered Martinez' map the least partisan of all. Opinions were still mixed; Republican leader Tom Taylor decried the map for a lack of GOP "presence," Martinez praised it as fair, and Democratic House Speaker Ben Lujan criticized it for not making substantial changes expected by the Supreme Court.

Qualifications

Article 4, Section 3 of the New Mexico Constitution states: Senators shall not be less than twenty-five years of age and representatives not less than twenty-one years of age at the time of their election. If any senator or representative permanently removes his residence from or maintains :No Residence in the district from which he was elected, then he shall be deemed to have resigned and his successor shall be selected as provided in Section 4 of this article. No person shall be eligible to serve in the legislature who, at the time of qualifying, holds any office of trust or profit with the state, county or national governments, except notaries public and officers of the militia who receive no salary.
