FAQ
From May 6th to June 21st, 2026, all New York City residents ages 11 and older, regardless of immigration status, can vote on how to spend $4M of the city budget to address their community needs!
“Participatory Budgeting is a powerful, non-partisan tool that puts real decision-making in the hands of New Yorkers—regardless of age, background, immigration status or political affiliation. By welcoming youth as young as 11 into the democratic process, we are fostering the next generation of civic leaders and proving that everyone’s voice matters in shaping our communities.” Holly Bonner, Commissioner, NYC Civic Engagement Commission
In an effort to build trust between communities and city government, this year’s vote campaign – You Pick, We Pay – aims to show residents that their voices aren’t just heard, but prioritized through real financial investment. It’s the city’s way of saying: we’re listening, and we’ve got your back.
