PROPOSITION 1: ENVIRONMENT AND CLIMATE CHANGE BONDS MEASURE

LWV NYS Supports Prop 1

To address and combat the impact of climate change and damage to the environment, the “Clean Water, Clean Air, and Green Jobs Environmental Bond Act of 2022” authorizes the sale of state bonds up to four billion two hundred million dollars to fund environmental protection, natural restoration, resiliency, and clean energy projects. Shall the Environmental Bond Act of 2022 be approved?

Proposal 1 would issue $4.20 billion in general obligation bonds for projects classified as climate change mitigation, flood-risk reduction, water infrastructure, and land conservation and recreation.

THREE WAYS TO VOTE

  1. By absentee ballot;
  2. In person during Early Voting; or
  3. In person on Election Day. 

Absentee Ballot Information

Monday, November 7, 2022: Last day for New York State registered voters to apply in person for an absentee ballot; by law, voters may use the temporary illness clause, which includes being unable to appear due to risk of contracting or spreading a communicable disease like COVID-19.

Tuesday, November 8, 2022: Last day for completed absentee ballots to be postmarked or hand-delivered and deposited in a drop box at any Westchester polling location.

In Person Voting

Saturday, October 29, 2022, through Sunday, November 6, 2022:  Early voting at any of the 23 designated polling locations and times in Westchester County.

Tuesday, November 8, 2022 (General Election Day): In person voting only at your assigned polling location.

Due to a recent change in law, New York State voters are no longer permitted to cast a ballot on a voting machine if they have been issued an absentee ballot for that election. Voters who were issued an absentee ballot may cast an affidavit ballot in person, to be counted only if the voter’s absentee ballot has not been received.
