County Clerk Alyssa Cleland briefed the board on statutory obligations to divide or adjust precinct boundaries when a precinct's vote tally exceeds 750 votes based on the two most recent general elections (NMSA §1-3-1 and §1-3-5). Cleland said the changes affect precincts in Farmington and Aztec (listed by precinct numbers in attached maps) and that adjustments cannot cross other district lines.

The board adopted Resolution 252632; staff will send a certified copy to the Secretary of State for compliance review, furnish copies to major-party chairs and publish the resolution in the Tri-City Record.

Cleland emphasized this action responds to state election-code requirements and affects precincts 3038, 3039, 3050, 3057, 3060, 3061, 3067, 3069, 3103 and 3107 in the Farmington/Azcet areas.
