Santa Fe County Commissioners are expected to consider a nonbinding measure on decriminalizing marijuana.
The possible vote Tuesday comes a day after Bernalillo County commissioners approved a similar proposal asking voters whether possession of an ounce or less of marijuana should be decriminalized.
Critics said the marijuana measure is just an attempt by some Democrats to get younger voters to the polls.
Councilors in the city of Santa Fe voted last month to decriminalize marijuana, making the city the first in the state to make possession of small amounts a civil infraction. Previously, the crime was a criminal misdemeanor.
