In November 2018, New York City voters approved Charter revisions that established the New York City Civic Engagement Commission (Chapter 76 of the New York City Charter). The Commission's purpose is to enhance civic participation through a variety of initiatives, including participatory budgeting, expanded poll site interpretation and assistance to community boards.
