The Big Apple should overhaul its primary elections, according to recommendations from Mayor Eric Adams’ City Charter Revision Commission — which even if approved, would come too late to help him in his reelection bid.

The proposals from the 13-member independent panel were released in a report early Wednesday, but would still need to appear on the November election ballot and then be approved by voters. 

The report offers two separate possible changes to primary elections, first reported by The Post, including one that would allow independent voters with no political party affiliation to vote in the Democrat and Republican races.

The other proposal would create a non-partisan primary in which all Democratic and Republican candidates would be on the same ballot and the top two candidates — regardless of party — would move on to the general election in November.

A source familiar with the commission’s discussions told The Post the city needs to get more voters involved in the electoral process.

“Twenty percent of registered voters don’t belong to a political party. A lot of young voters are not registered with a political party,” the source said.

“Non-partisan or open primaries would give more voters a say in who gets elected mayor. Why close them out?”

The commission, which started its work in December, also floated moving all elections to even years. 

Adams, who dropped out of the Democratic primary earlier this month and is now running as an independent, has also been a vocal critic of the current primary system. 

The commission also targeted the City Council’s zoning power and suggested lawmakers should no longer have the final say on development projects across the five boroughs.

Instead, the mayoral administration should have the ability to override the Council’s decision, the panel recommended.

Queens Councilman Robert Holden, a moderate Democrat, slammed the possibility of council members losing zoning control.

“Any effort to end member deference and override the will of the people by stripping their elected representative’s voice on zoning is nothing more than a blatant power grab and a gift to developers,” he told The Post.

“The council must oppose this at all costs to preserve local control and protect our neighborhoods.”

Former First Deputy Mayor Maria Torres-Springer, before her resignation, led the charge behind the scenes to dilute the council’s land use sway after council members partly scaled back Adams’ sprawling City of Yes housing plan, sources said.

Any proposition would be left up to voters in November, should the commission decide to have them appear on the ballot.

But with Hizzoner dealing with poor polling numbers due to his scandal-scarred term, it’s unlikely he’ll get another four years in office when he would have gotten to work with the possible changes.

“Too little, too late. The mayor and Charter Revision Commission can’t even weaponize the charter properly,” a Democratic operative told The Post.

“If they were in charge of a funeral home, people would stop dying.”

This is the second charter commission formed by Adams after the first panel approved five ballot proposals that went before voters last year.   

“This preliminary staff report is an ambitious document that presents proposals to ensure that New York City remains an engine of opportunity, prioritizing inclusivity for all New Yorkers, especially as we seek to make housing more accessible and affordable across all five boroughs,” said commission chair Richard Buery, Jr.
