The next election is November 7, 2017.

One of the questions that will be asked on Tuesday is centered around whether to hold a statewide constitutional convention. If a convention is called, every part of the state Constitution could be subject to replacement or revision, warning that the effort could repeal hard-won protections and also be influenced by “dark money” forces. Opening the state Constitution would put low income New Yorkers at risk; we believe there are safer avenues of reform, such as via the legislature, to achieve our goals. Please join us in voting NO to a constitutional convention.
