New Mexico will hold the nation’s fourth Democratic presidential primary in 2028 under a new plan that moves the state vote to Feb. 15.

SANTA FE, N.M. – New Mexico is set to hold the nation’s fourth Democratic presidential primary in 2028 under a new plan that moves the state vote to Feb. 15.

After a vote from the Democratic National Committee, New Mexico moved into the early presidential primary calendar for Democrats.

The change depends on the governor and some state lawmakers sending the Democratic National Committee, or DNC, a signed letter agreeing to introduce a state law to move the date.

New Mexico’s primary would come after South Carolina, Nevada and New Hampshire.

The new date for the Democratic presidential primary is Feb. 15, 2028.
