The statewide Primary is for Democratic, Republican, and Libertarian candidates. A candidate who wins support of 20% or more of the delegates at the state convention automatically advances to the primary. Alternatively, candidates can file nominations papers with the requisite number of signatures by 19 March. The Republican convention is 2 March and the Democratic Convention is TBD. Special election nominees are chosen by party leaders rather than primary. 2024 Primary Candidate Information and Upcoming Statewide Elections from the New Mexico Secretary of State.

| Notes |
| Candidates for office appear on this page in italics where 'The Green Papers' does not yet have independent confirmation from a legal election authority that the person has been officially certified to appear on the ballot. |
| Primary dates marked "presumably" and polling times marked "reportedly" are based on unofficial or estimated data (especially as regards local variations from a jurisdictionwide statutory and/or regulatory standard) and are, thereby, subject to change. |
"FEC" indicates the Federal Election Commission (FEC) Campaign Finance Summary. When available, we post each candidate's FEC identification number, the date of their most recently filed Report of Receipts and Disbursements, their "Tot" [Total Receipts (contributions received or what came in: FEC Form 3, Line 16, Column B)] and their "Dsb" [Total Disbursements (expenditures or what was spent: FEC Form 3, Line 23, Column B)]. A link is provided to the Federal Election Commission's Summary Report for those who might wish to explore the details. If a candidate raises or spends $5,000 or less, he or she is not subject to FEC reporting requirements. |
