Constitutional convention controversy: Local lawmakers urge voters to turn down proposal
The races for mayor and City Council aren’t the only things voters will find on the ballot when they show up at the polls on Election Day on Tuesday, Nov. 7.
Voters will also be asked to approve or turn down a proposition on whether New York state should convene a constitutional convention in 2018 to rewrite or amend the state constitution.
The ballot initiative, listed as Proposition 1, asks the question, “Shall there be a convention to revise the constitution and amend the same?”
