NOTICE OF PUBLIC INPUT SESSIONS
The New York City Commission on Government Efficiency (“COGE”) will host Public Input Sessions in all five boroughs to discuss proposed changes to the New York City Charter. COGE is empowered to consider revisions to the Charter for presentation to the voters at the November 3, 2026 general election, or at another designated election date pursuant to law.
What are these Public Input Sessions about?
The Charter provides the structure of City government and sets out key powers of City elected officials and agencies. After a review of the entire Charter, COGE may recommend changes intended to help City government work more efficiently and better serve all New Yorkers.
The public is invited to hear from experts, testify about any matter of importance to City government, and to suggest changes to the Charter. You can find out more about the New York City Commission on Government Efficiency by visiting us at our website: www.nyc.gov/charter.
Who can give input?
These meetings are open to the public, and the public will have the opportunity to testify before members of COGE. Any member of the public may testify about their ideas for improving the City Charter for up to three (3) minutes. COGE will hear testimony from people who attend the meeting in person and from people who attend by Zoom. COGE will hear testimony from individuals who appear in person before hearing testimony from those attending via Zoom. A group, organization or institution wishing to testify shall select a single designated representative. New Yorkers from any of the five boroughs may testify. COGE will attempt to accommodate everyone who signs up to speak at this hearing, but if time does not permit all testimony to be heard, the public is encouraged to utilize other opportunities to testify, including by testifying at subsequent COGE public input sessions or by submitting written testimony to CharterTestimony@citycharter.
How do I submit written testimony?
