Question #1
NYS Constitutional Convention
a section of the NYS ConstitutionSince 1847, the NYS constitution requires that NYS voters must be asked every 20 years if they want to have a constitutional convention to review the state constitution, and to propose changes to the voters through ballot questions after the convention finishes its work.
In 2017, NYS voters faced the question:
Shall there be a convention to revise the Constitution and amend the same?
And the voters said: No!
