OPINION
RANSOM, Justice.
This is an appeal from the dismissal of an election contest brought by Jose Damian Eturriaga and Jacobo “Jake” Salazar (contestants) against Cecilia R. Valdez and Joe B. Romero (contestees) following a primary election in Rio Arriba County on June 8, 1988. We primarily address a conflict between the Election Code, NMSA 1978, Sections 1-1-1 to 1-22-19 (RepI.Pamp.1985), and the Rules of Civil Procedure promulgated by this Court concerning proceedings to contest the validity of a primary election. See SCRA 1986, 1-087.
Additionally, we must decide what relief is available…
