3.0 Voting

What happened during citywide Voting?

From May 14th through June 25th, 2025, 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.
