In each odd-numbered year after 1955, elections shall be called and conducted pursuant to the Local Election Act [Chapter 1, Article 22 NMSA 1978] for the election of directors to succeed any directors whose terms expire in that year. History: 1953 Comp., § 75-32-27, enacted by Laws 1955, ch. 281, § 3; 2011, ch. 72, § 2; 2018, ch. 79, § 153. The 2018 amendment, effective July 1, 2022, provided that conservancy district elections shall be called and conducted pursuant to the Local Election Act; in the section heading, changed "Calling of first election" to "Elections"; and deleted the first five sentences, which related to certain election procedures, and after "In each odd-numbered year after 1955, elections shall be called", deleted "in the same manner and at the same times as provided in Sections 73-18-25 through 73-18-43 NMSA 1978" and added "and conducted pursuant to the Local Election Act". The 2011 amendment, effective June 17, 2011, eliminated the provision that permitted wives of electors to act as judges; authorized the board of directors to determine the compensation of judges; and required that elections in odd-numbered years be called as provided in Sections 73-18-25 through 73-18-43 NMSA 1978.
