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.
