Compiler's notes. — In Tsosie v. King, No. CIV 91-0905-M, in paragraph 6 of an order dated January 7, 1993, the United States District Court for the District of New Mexico provides that for district attorney elections after 1992, the Eleventh Judicial District will be divided into two separate election divisions, one division composed of McKinley County and one division composed of San Juan County, and the qualified registered electors in each division will elect one district attorney from that division. Nothing in the order shall affect the jurisdiction and powers of the Eleventh Judicial District district attorneys under current law and practice. The order further provides that enactment by the New Mexico Legislature during its 1993 session and approval by the Governor of legislation creating the electoral divisions and otherwise consistent with the provisions of paragraph 6 shall meet the requirements of that paragraph. See 1993 amendment of this section and 36-1-8.3 NMSA 1978.
The 1993 amendment, effective June 18, 1993, inserted "which shall constitute two separate election divisions" in the introductory language.
