Report: City could save millions by shifting local elections to even-numbered years [View all]

A new report finds that shifting local elections here in the city to even-numbered years could save tens of millions of dollars.

The study by the city’s Independent Budget Office says if local elections were held at the same time as state and federal elections, the city could save on average $42 million every other year.

But the change would require state approval.

Cassandra Stuart, the author of the report, joined NY1 political reporter Bobby Cuza on “Inside City Hall” Friday to discuss more.
