NYC Voters to decide Councilman at Large under home rule Charter
Citizens head to polls tomorrow to vote for one Councilman at large under the home rule Charter despite Robert Blaikie s legal challenge.

The initial court ruling found the provision illegal but was reversed just days before the September 5 primary, with Blaikie opposing the minority candidate outcome.
