An informational session explaining the five proposals that will be on the back of the ballot will be held at Brooklyn Borough Hall on Tuesday night, Sept. 10, from 6:30–8 p.m.
The New York City Charter is the city’s constitution. The proposals include a big change to primary elections, ethics in government, how land-use decisions are made, changes to the Civilian Complaint Board, and funds to borough presidents and the public advocate.
“The Commission has completed a top-to-bottom review of our city’s constitution and written five ballot questions that reflect modern challenges facing New Yorkers,” Charter Commission Chair Gail Benjamin said in a statement.
