On November 2, voters in New York City will vote on two amendments to the city charter.  The second question requires voters to cast a “Yes” or “No” vote on seven separate aspects of election law, including easier ballot access for candidates for city office.  See the details here.

The first amendment would restore two-term term limits for members of the city council, and the city’s executive elected positions.

These measures were put on the ballot by the Charter Review Commission.  That body heard lots of testimony in favor of making New York city elections non-partisan, but the Commission didn’t put that issue on the ballot.
