3.0 Voting

What happened during citywide Voting?

From May 10th through June 17th, 2024, over a hundred thousand New Yorkers voted on how to spend part of the city budget to address community needs. Residents had the opportunity to vote online or in-person, in multiple languages, at sites across the five boroughs. All NYC residents 11 and older and regardless of immigration status, were eligible to vote. A total of 20 ideas were selected to become implemented projects, including five in the Bronx, five in Brooklyn, four in Manhattan, five in Queens, and one in Staten Island.

Highlights from citywide Voting!

• The CEC worked with 84 community partners, as well as volunteers across the five boroughs on a citywide get out the vote campaign to ensure all eligible New Yorkers had the opportunity to participate. Partners hosted ballot boxes, voting drives, community events, and neighborhood canvasses to support this civic engagement effort.

• The CEC staffed events citywide to spread awareness and collect votes including Queens Pride Parade, the 9th Avenue Food Festival in Manhattan, Bronx Week Parade and Festival, Sunset Park Puerto Rican Day Parade and Staten Family Fun Day.

• These efforts included a multimedia, multilingual citywide advertising strategy that yielded over four million impressions and reached millions of New Yorkers across the city via digital media platforms.

• The People's Money Artist’s Collective: We integrated a vibrant, arts-based campaign that lifted up optimism and care as necessary elements of a flourishing democracy. The Sunnies, an artistic innovation of yellow figurines representing everyday New Yorkers engaged in democracy, enlivened this year’s program and helped galvanize participation. They were created through our Artists's Collective, where we invited local artists throughout the five boroughs to help us enhance the creative identity of The People's Money.
