Support for term limits is broad across all political and demographic groups. An overwhelming sixty-seven percent of voters approve of 8-year term limits for mayor while only fifteen percent support a twelve-year term limit. Seventy-seven percent of those surveyed support enacting 8-year term limits for the Governor of New York and seventy-five percent support implementing 8-year term limits on the state legislature.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, term limits on the New York City mayor and City Council members prevent anyone from serving more than eight years in an office. A proposal has been made to lengthen the limit so that the Mayor and council members can serve for up to 12 years. Do you prefer term limits of 8 years or 12 years?<\/p>\n<p>In 2009 Mayor Bloomberg was able to get an extra term as he served 3 terms (12 years) as New York City&#8217;s Mayor. New York City Council members also enjoyed an extra term during that time.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.termlimits.com\/library\/2020NYCMayoralPollExecutiveSummary.pdf\">See the Polls on Term Limits here<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED CONTENT<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/nycnewsnetwork.com\/nycpolitics\/2020\/12\/28\/barrons-losing-stronghold-in-east-new-york-as-chris-banks-and-nikki-lucas-defeat-the-duo-in-county-committee-vote\/\">Barrons Losing Stronghold In East New York As Chris Banks And Nikki Lucas Defeat The Duo In County Committee Vote<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/nycnewsnetwork.com\/nycpolitics\/2020\/10\/28\/power-to-the-people-how-charles-and-inez-barrons-seat-switching-is-a-dangerous-political-legacy-game-for-the-community-of-east-new-york\/\">Power To The People?
