The New York City council will vote on Thursday to decide whether or not to extend term limits allowing Mayor Michael Bloomberg and many of their peers to run for a third term in office.

A representative to the Council Speaker Christine Quinn said the item has been added to the agenda, but according to NY1 - there may not be enough support to pass it.

The latest tally of council members has 18 in favor of the extension, 21 against, and 12 still undecided.

If the New York City Council doesn't pass the measure, Mayor Bloomberg says he will try to get a referendum on the ballot.

Local polls are leaning in Bloomberg's favor, so that might not work either. A Quinnipiacpoll shows that New York oppose extending term limits 51% to 45%.
