N.M. Stat. § 73-9-54
[Determining and declaring result of election; recording
certificate.]
The board of directors shall name a day for canvassing the vote, and if it shall
appear that a majority of said ballots contain the words, "For Dissolution - Yes," then it
shall be the duty of said board of directors to make and cause to be entered upon their
records an order declaring said district to be dissolved and to certify a copy of said order
to the county clerk of each county wherein any part of said district is situated. And clerks
shall record all such certificates in the records of the respective counties. Should it
appear that a majority of the votes cast at said election were "For Dissolution - No," then
the board of directors shall declare the proposition lost and shall cause the result to be
made a part of the records of said irrigation district.
