Confused About Proposed Charter Changes? Mark Your Calendar.

On Election Day, November 5, New York City voters will have a chance to increase police oversight powers, established rank-choice voting and solidify the budgets of major officials, and make other changes to the City Charter, which is the rulebook for municipal government.

If adopted, those proposals (you can read the questions or a more detailed explanation of each) could have a significant impact on how the city votes, is policed or governed. To explain the options, the Charter Revision Commission is holding a series of information sessions at which there will be a short presentation about the five questions followed by a resource fair where attendees can learn more about the ballot questions and chat with Commission staff.

Each session will begin at 6:30 p.m. and last about 90 minutes. Here are the dates and places:
