    Candidates in Westchester County were not asked to supply information to Smart Voter. The elected office and candidate names are listed here for your convenience.

  • Approximate Ballot Lookup
    We do not have an exact database of precinct definitions for Westchester County, so the contests below may be slightly different than what is on your actual ballot.

    The county legislative districts are approximated, and more than one may appear below where the boundary is uncertain. Yonkers council districts are unavailable, so all are shown for Yonkers residents. Lookups for Town/Village contests are based on 2004se US Census data, and should be accurate.

    State Propositions

    Proposition 1 Submission of Budget to Legislature by Governor
    The proposed amendment to Articles IV and VII of the Constitution would change the process for enactment of the state budget by (a) providing for a contingency budget if the Legislature does not act on the Governor's appropriation bills before the start of the fiscal year; (b) placing limits on the amount of spending during such contingency period; (c) once such contingency period begins, eliminating the requirement that the Legislature act on the Governor's proposed appropriation bills, and instead authorizing the Legislature to end the contingency period by adopting a multiple appropriation bill making changes to the contingency budget, subject to line item veto by the Governor; and (d) authorizing the Legislature, subject to veto by the Governor, to modify the spending limits for future contingency budgets, except that such changes cannot take effect until three years after enactment. The proposed amendment also sets forth certain requirements for the operation of a fiscal stabilization reserve fund, from which money could be disbursed in a subsequent year. It would require estimates and information provided by state departments to the Governor for use in preparing the budget to be available to the public. It would provide a date certain by which the Governor must submit a budget and appropriation bills to the Legislature. It would reduce the time the Governor has to make changes to the budget and appropriation bills submitted to the Legislature without the Legislature's consent from thirty days to twenty-one days. Shall the proposed amendment be approved?
