2024 Election to the Board of Trustees
January 12, 2024
On January 9, 2024, the PERA Board adopted a resolution calling for nominations for one state member position, one municipal member position and one retiree member position.
PERA Board members are fiduciaries to the various PERA funds and must prudently administer the retirement systems for the sole and exclusive benefit of PERA members, retirees and beneficiaries.
Each position has a four-year term to begin January 1, 2025. Only vested* members may run for these positions. Candidates must obtain a minimum of 150 valid** signatures on their nominating petitions (PERA Rule 2.80.200.70 (A) (3) NMAC). The five candidates with the most signatures will be included on the ballot for the 2024 election.
All nominating petitions must be received at Automated Election Services, 7000 Zenith Ct., Rio Rancho, NM 87144-6467 by 5:00 pm Monday, April 15, 2024 to be counted. If you are interested and would like to request a nominating petition, please contact Automated Election Services at 1-800-833-5568 ext. 6534.
