A Breakdown Of The Five Proposals Appearing On Your (NY) November Ballot

It's not just the race for New York City mayor that's on the ballot this November. There will also be five proposals, which, if passed, will immediately take effect on January 1st, 2022 and be inserted in the state constitution, making it harder for state lawmakers to amend them in the future.

Voters are not required to vote "yes" or "no" on all proposals. Some of the five proposals are simple updates to the state constitution while others have major implications down the road for the State Legislature and the party in power.

Ballot Proposal #3: Shortening Ten-Day Voting Registration

The proposal erases the requirement that you must register to vote a minimum of 10 days before any election in the state constitution. The State Legislature would then have to pass laws allowing you to register to vote less than 10 days before an election.

A “yes”vote could pave the way for same-day voter registration.

Ballot Proposal #4: No-Excuse Absentee Ballot Requests

Currently, the only way to obtain an absentee ballot is by declaring you’re either too sick or disabled to get to poll site, or not in the county you’re registered to vote in to cast a ballot on the day of an election. This proposal would allow you to get an absentee ballot without having to offer any explanation. But just like Ballot Proposal #3, the next step would require the State Legislature to come up with a state law.

AbolishCSEU :" Gothamist is a leftist rag, however, they are gearing up with their five ballot proposals.
Other than vote with our feet, what say ye?"

First of all, New York State has a Democratic Governor, a majority Democratic State Senate, and a majority State House.
New York City had a Democratic mayor, who has achieved the "Peter Principle" of being totally above his level of competence. (Expect more of the same !!)
