Rep Manager AI

On November 3, 2026, the voters of New Paltz will decide one of the most consequential local government questions in the community's modern history: should the Village of New Paltz and the Town of New Paltz consolidate into a single municipal government? The question will appear as a referendum on the general election ballot. For consolidation to pass, it requires separate majorities — both a majority of village residents voting "yes" and a majority of town residents living outside the village also voting "yes."
