New Yorkers approved five of the six ballot proposals that came before Big Apple voters on Tuesday, including a measure to enshrine abortion rights in the State Constitution and changes to the City Charter that could give the mayor a bigger hand in the City Council’s lawmaking process.
Empire State voters passed Proposition 1 — also known as the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) — by a 22% vote margin, with 57% voting in favor of the measure, 35% voting against it and another 8% leaving it blank.
