If there is a vacancy in the New Mexico State Legislature, the board of county commissioners is responsible for filling the vacancy. The governor will choose a new member from the list provided by the county boards in the district where the vacant seat is located. The governor is not required by law to appoint a member of the same political party as the last incumbent. There are no deadlines set by Article IV, Section 4 of the New Mexico Constitution which governs legislative vacancies. The appointed replacement serves for the remainder of the unfilled term.[3]

## Redistricting[edit]

Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham (D) signed a new state House map into law on December 29, 2021, and a new state Senate map on January 6, 2022. These maps take effect for New Mexico's 2022 legislative elections. The state House approved the House map bill 43-23 on December 10, 2021, and the state Senate approved the bill 24-13 on December 16, 2021.[4] The state Senate approved the Senate map 25-13 on December 16, and the state House approved the map 38-22 on December 17.[5]

How does redistricting in New Mexico work? In New Mexico, congressional and state legislative district boundaries are drawn by the state legislature. These lines are subject to veto by the governor.[6]

State statutes require that state legislative districts be contiguous and compact. Redistricting guidelines adopted in 2011 suggest that congressional and state legislative districts meet the following criteria:[6]

1. All districts should be "reasonably compact."
2. Districts should "not split voting precincts."
3. Districts should "attempt to preserve communities of interest and take into consideration political and geographic boundaries."

These guidelines are nonbinding and may be altered by the legislature at its discretion.[6]

On April 6, 2021, Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham (D) signed SB304 into law, forming a seven-member advisory redistricting commission. The legislation bars public officials, candidates, political party officeholders, federal legislative or state employees, and the relatives of federal or state officeholders from serving on the commission. The commission's proposals do not bind the state legislature, which retains the authority to adopt, amend, or discard the proposals as it sees fit.[7]

The New Mexico House had a difference in partisan balance between Democrats and Republican of four seats, which amounted to 5.7 percent of the chamber. District 37 in the House was identified by Ballotpedia and the Albuquerque Journal as a battleground district that would be key in determining control of the New Mexico House of Representatives.
