Exclusive | NYC Charter Revision Commission to recommend overhaul to primaries, target City Council's zoning power: sources
Briefly

New York City's Charter Revision Commission is set to propose significant reforms to the primary election system and to limit the City Council's power over land-use decisions. They plan to recommend a non-partisan primary system where all candidates appear on the same ballot, allowing the top two regardless of party to advance. Additionally, the proposals may allow independent voters to participate, aiming to increase electoral engagement among young and unaffiliated voters. These changes may come too late for the current mayor's campaign efforts, as voter approval is still required.
The commission's proposals aim to enhance voter participation by introducing non-partisan primaries, allowing a broader electorate, including independents, to influence the electoral outcome.
The recommendations seek to reform the primary system by allowing all candidates to be on the same ballot, enabling the top two to proceed, regardless of party affiliation.
