What if I need assistance to participate in the meeting? This location is accessible to individuals using wheelchairs or other mobility devices. Induction loop systems, ASL interpreters, and Spanish interpreters will be available. In addition, with advance notice, members of the public may request language interpreters.

Other Frequently Asked Questions

What is the NYC Charter Revision Commission?

New York City has a Charter that sets out the structure, powers and responsibilities of our city government. The Charter Revision Commission’s job is to review the City Charter and consider whether there are ways to improve it.

Can I share my ideas on how to change the Charter?

Absolutely! Public input is critical to the process and we want to hear from you. Everyone has the opportunity to share ideas with the Commission on how to improve the Charter. There are several ways to share your ideas:

The Commission is holding public hearings in every borough during July, 2018. You can attend a hearing and share oral and/or written testimony.

Don’t want to wait until then? You can submit your comments to comments@charter.nyc.gov or online at nyc.gov/charter.

What should I say?

The Charter Revision Commission wants to hear how to improve the operations and efficiency of our government. We are also interested in improving City elections and making it easier for the public to vote and engage in civic life. We hope you will consider sharing your thoughts on how we can accomplish these goals and any other ideas you have about how to improve the Charter.

How will my testimony be used?

The Commission will carefully review all testimony and public comments to identify potential changes to the Charter. Revisions could ultimately be put on the ballot for the public to vote on in November 2018.
