Ballot measures · November 3, 2026
New York
No statewide measures are on New York's November 3, 2026 ballot, according to the official sources we read.1,
Research draft. We gathered this from official sources on October 27, 2026: election offices, state laws and court records, each linked to its source. Separate reviewers checked a random sample of 48 facts from the ballot-measure research against the cited sources and found no errors. The rest hasn't been reviewed fact by fact yet, so check the linked source before relying on anything here.
§1Where this list comes from
That there are none rests on these official sources. Researched October 27, 2026.
- Elections: Sample Ballots, Filings, Results, Early Voting Information1Tompkins County Board of Elections
- Official Absentee/Military/UOCAVA/Early Vote by Mail Ballot for the 2026 General Election, November 3, 2026: Dryden (sample)2Tompkins County Board of Elections
- Official Absentee/Military/UOCAVA/Early Vote by Mail Ballot for the 2026 General Election, November 3, 2026: Town of Ithaca (sample)3Tompkins County Board of Elections
- Ballot Proposals (2026), with Appendix A: Proposed Ballot Questions4Board of Elections in the City of New York
None of them calls the list certified or final, so we don’t either.
§2Notes on the research
What the research couldn’t find or confirm, in its own plain words. Nothing is left out silently.
- The State Board of Elections website (elections.ny.gov), which posts the statewide ballot certification, answered with a browser check, so we stopped using it; the State Senate's website (nysenate.gov) did the same. We could not read the state's own list of statewide proposals, or confirm from it that there are none.
- The absence of statewide proposals is shown instead by official county ballots, on which any statewide proposal would be printed: Tompkins County's official 2026 general election ballots for the Town of Dryden and the Town of Ithaca list only candidate contests, with no proposal or question of any kind. The New York City Board of Elections' 2026 ballot proposals page lists only five proposed New York City Charter amendments, numbered from Question 1, and no statewide proposal; that list is dated July 23, 2026.
- None of these sources says the list is certified or final, so the list is not marked certified.
- Dutchess County's elections website (dutchesselections.com) also returned a security check.
