As New Yorkers choose their next mayor in this election, they are also being asked to weigh in on an important decision about future election timing.
Ballot Question 6 invites voters to consider moving the primary and general elections to coincide with presidential election years. Currently, New York City holds elections for mayor, comptroller, public advocate, borough presidents, and City Council offices in the year following a presidential election.
This potential change could shift the election cycle from its traditional schedule, impacting how often and when these city officials are elected. Voters’ decisions on this question will shape the timing of local leadership elections in the years to come.
