NYC Is Voting on Moving Its Elections to Even Years
Shifting city elections to even-numbered years is proven to increase turnout among eligible voters, especially those from underserved communities.
New York City voters will decide in November on a consequential ballot measure that could put the city on a path to boosting voter turnout.
If passed, Ballot Proposal 6 would — once permitted by a change in state law — shift odd-year city elections to the same year as presidential elections in even years.
Its approval would give historically underrepresented New Yorkers a stronger voice in their government.
Specifically, the ballot question proposes amending the City Charter to hold the city’s primary and general elections in even-numbered years.
