About the Civic Engagement Commission

In November 2018, New York City voters approved three ballot initiatives proposed by the 2018 Charter Revision Commission, which established the NYC Civic Engagement Commission (CEC). Per Chapter 76 of the NYC Charter, the Commission will:

• Run a citywide participatory budgeting program, The People's Money, that lets New Yorkers decide how to spend public money in partnership with community-based organizations and civic leaders.

• Provide language interpretation services at poll sites for limited English proficient New Yorkers through our Voter Language Assistance program; and

• Provide assistance and training to community boards.
