SANTA FE 鈥� The New Mexico Senate concurred on a bill to prohibit firearms near polling places Wednesday morning, sending the measure to the governor鈥檚 desk.

Senators unanimously reapproved Senate Bill 5, after the House narrowly passed an amendment to allow concealed carry licensees to bring their weapons to polling stations.

Supporters of the measure have argued it would help stop voter intimidation with the threat of a petty misdemeanor. The bill was also one of several Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham included in her public safety initiatives before the session started.

鈥淣ew Mexicans should be able to exercise their right to vote without fear of intimidation or, worse, violence,鈥� Lujan Grisham said in a Wednesday news release. 鈥淭his legislation solidifies what we already know: Guns do not belong at polling places.鈥�

Sen. Mark Moores, R-Albuquerque, poked some fun at the House for passing that amendment, which was an exact copy of a change he proposed on the Senate floor.

Still, he applauded lawmakers for passing the bill.

鈥淚 think this is a really interesting bill, for elections and guns to be bipartisan in this day and age,鈥� he said. 鈥淎nd I am proud that we just did that.鈥�

During Wednesday鈥檚 debate on the Senate floor, Sen. Joseph Cervantes, D-Las Cruces, one of SB 5鈥檚 sponsors, lamented that lawmakers didn鈥檛 do more on guns.

鈥淭his is one of only two gun bills this session that looks like it might have a chance of being signed into law,鈥� he said. 鈥�... We really didn鈥檛 do very much this session on guns.鈥�

But sponsor Senate Majority Leader Peter Wirth, D-Santa Fe, disagreed, arguing having a prohibition on guns in polling places is an 鈥渋ncredibly important issue to be discussing鈥� given this year鈥檚 election cycle.

鈥淵ou won鈥檛 be able to basically have weapons that are exposed and intimidating,鈥� he said. 鈥淎nd yes, there鈥檚 a concealed carry exception. Would I have preferred that this not be on there? I鈥檓 not gonna say I wouldn鈥檛. But I still think this is a very important bill.鈥�
