Administrative History
The New York State Constitution provides that every twenty years the voters of the State shall decide if there shall be a convention to revise and amend the Constitution. In August 1956, the Temporary State Commission on the Constitutional Convention was created to study and report on proposals for changes in and simplification of the State Constitution and to collect information and data useful to the delegates and people before and during the convention to be held in 1959. In the 1957 election, the voters of New York State defeated the proposal to hold a Constitutional Convention.
