Elections 2024: Hamptons Voters to Answer Four Ballot Questions

High-profile election matchups are getting most of the attention this campaign season, but Hamptons voters will also decide the fate of four propositions found on the back of ballots this Election Day.

Town of East Hampton voters will consider a proposition on whether to use part of a nature preserve to reconfigure a problematic intersection. In the Town of Southampton, voters will be asked whether or not to approve a land swap that would help advance efforts to improve water quality in Lake Agawam in the Village of Southampton. Voters across the East End will also have a chance to weigh in on the proposition to increase the Suffolk County Drinking Water Protection Program sales tax by 1/8th of a percent to establish a new Water Quality Restoration Fund. And local voters will additionally decide the outcome of the proposed Equal Rights Act amendment to strengthen New York State constitutional protections against discrimination.
