NEW YORK CITY — The New York City Charter Revision Commission recently voted to adopt five ballot proposals that will appear on voter's ballot in November. The five ballot proposals were adopted following a public comment period and would look to increase housing development, deliver more affordable housing, among other issues. Here are the five ballot proposals below. Question 1 - Fast Tracking Affordable Housing: This would create a simpler and faster approval process for publicly funded affordable housing.

It also would speed up housing approvals in neighborhoods that haven't built enough affordable homes, in line with the Speaker's Fair Housing Framework. Question 2 - Simplify Review of Modest Housing and Infrastructure Projects: This would exempt modest housing and climate resiliency projects—solar arrays, backyard ADUs, and new buildings under 45ft—from the ULURP gauntlet that today takes...

(You can unsubscribe anytime) By Ericka O’Connell, Roosevelt Island Daily As we approach Election Day on Tuesday, November 4, 2025, New York City voters will not only choose candidates for city offices but also decide on five proposed changes to the city’s charter. These measures, approved by the Charter Revision Commission, aim to address housing, infrastructure, and election processes.

Here’s what each measure means and how your vote will matter: What it means: This proposal would allow certain affordable housing projects in districts with the least affordable housing to bypass City Council review and move directly to the City Planning Commission for approval. What it means: This measure would create a board with the power to override City Council decisions on affordable housing projects, including granting zoning changes. What it means: This would shift elections for mayor, public advocate, comptroller, borough president, and city council members to coincide with presidential elections. The city’s Charter Revision Commission decided that voters will consider five propositions on the ballot this November. Commission members say one of those propositions will lead to more affordable housing — as well as a push to move local elections to the same year that presidential elections are held.

And while looking at the idea of opening up city primaries to all voters, the commission ultimately avoided the issue, saying members couldn’t come to a clear consensus on how to advance the idea. Richard Buery, the chair of the City’s Charter Revision Commission, joined NY1 political anchor Errol Louis on “Inside City Hall” Monday to discuss more. He also serves as the CEO of the Robin Hood Foundation.
