Open primaries plan gets shut down by NYC Charter Review Commission

By Ajani Stella Posted on July 17, 2025

New Yorkers will not vote on whether the city should institute open primaries after a city panel announced Wednesday it would not put the measure on November ballots.

The proposal would have allowed all voters, regardless of party affiliation, to vote in a “jungle primary” of all candidates, in which the top two vote-getters advance to the general election. The Charter Revision Commission, a 13-member body empaneled by Mayor Eric Adams to consider amendments to the City Charter, considered the proposal alongside five other measures it is expected to advance to voters.
