Buffalo, NY, October 22, 2026 —
Buffalo voters will consider 11 ballot questions proposing changes to the city’s charter. The proposals follow work by a charter revision commission, and early voting has begun.
The available information does not describe the substance of any of the 11 questions, identify the commission’s members, or explain what changes the proposals would make. It also does not provide the date of the election or details about where and when voters can cast ballots.
Without those details, voters’ choices can be described only in broad terms: the ballot will include 11 questions concerning proposed changes to Buffalo’s charter. The summary does not say whether the questions are related to one another, how they were developed, or what would happen if any proposal is approved or rejected.
The proposals came after work by a charter revision commission, but no further information was provided about the commission’s process or recommendations. Early voting is underway, according to the available summary. Specific start and end dates, eligibility information, and voting instructions were not provided.
Further details about the ballot questions and election logistics are not included in the information available for this report.
