The people of New York, by their Constitution (Article 29- Section 2), are presented with the question every 20 years: “Shall there be a convention to revise the constitution and amend the same?”
The next scheduled appearance of this question on a ballot will happen no later than 2017.
It is vitally important for ALL New Yorkers to become well versed and familiar with this governing document.
