New York ballot proposal election results 2024

Candidates weren’t the only thing on the ballot this November. New York City voters also had the opportunity to weigh in on six ballot proposals, including one state constitutional amendment, known as Proposal 1. The latter, also referred to as the Equal Rights Amendment, has garnered a flurry of attention from supporters and opponents throughout the election cycle. It essentially proposes changing the state constitution to expand the list of protected classes of people, explicitly prohibiting discrimination based on ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability status, pregnancy, pregnancy outcomes and more.

Proposals 2-6 were crafted by a 13-member Charter Revision Commission convened by New York City Mayor Eric Adams. The proposals, two of which would give more political authority to the mayor, have evolved into a battleground between the mayor and City Council leaders, who have accused the mayor of hastily forming the commission to block a proposal that would have expanded City Council authority over some of Adams’ top appointments. While proposals that would require the City Council to notify the mayor eight days before holding public hearings or votes and to give 30 days notice before weighing changes to public safety-related bills have sparked the most backlash, other proposals, like giving the Department of Sanitation more power to clean streets, are also on the ballot.
