Ballot Proposal Comments

We want to hear from you!

There’s a lot at stake in the upcoming general election on November 7th! In addition to City Council, district attorney, and judicial offices on the ballot, NYC voters will also see two ballot proposals to amend the State Constitution.

These proposals affect the debt limit for sewage facilities and small city school districts. Voters will have the chance to vote “Yes” or “No” on each proposal.

To help educate NYC voters before they head to the polls, we’ll feature summaries of each proposal in the official NYC Voter Guide. We also plan to include public comments in support of and in opposition to each proposal in the online Voter Guide, allowing voters to see arguments on both sides of every issue. If you would like to submit a pro or con statement on either of these proposals to include in the online Voter Guide, please fill out the form below!

You can find below the text that will appear on the ballot for each proposal. The deadline to submit your statement is 5pm EST Wednesday, September 13.

The Proposals

1. Removal of small city school districts debt limit

2. Extending sewage project debt exclusion from debt limit

The proposed amendment to Article 8, section 5 of the Constitution extends for ten years the authority of counties, cities, towns, and villages to remove from their constitutional debt limits debt for the construction of sewage facilities. Shall the proposed amendment be approved?
