New York voters have a big decision to make this November – whether to vote for or against convening a constitutional convention to examine the New York State Constitution. For many New Yorkers, this will be their first time seeing a constitutional convention question on the ballot; others may remember being asked that question
in 1997 because in New York, every 20 years, the voters get to decide if a convention should be held. A yes vote would lead to an election for delegates in 2018 for a convention that would convene in April 2019. The delegates at that convention can debate whether New York’s Constitution—the document that determines the structure of New York State government and the rights of its citizens—should be changed. Please join us for a panel discussion to explore this important issue. The event will focus on the pros and cons of holding a convention and will feature
panels of experts in areas including, among other topics, government ethics, LGBTQ rights, education, social welfare, and the judiciary.
