Voting by Mail

• Every election, millions of voters around the country, including our military and overseas voters, cast their ballots by mail. This year, due to the ongoing coronavirus outbreak, Rhode Island voters are being encouraged to vote by mail. The Secretary of State's Office has compiled a helpful guide for mail voting, which can be downloaded here. 

Emergency & Early Voting

• Early voting is available 20 days before an election at City Hall.  Anyone who hasn't applied for a mail ballot may vote in-person at City Hall, Monday through Friday 8:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. (except legal holidays, and 4 p.m. on the final day of the Early Voting period, per RIGL). No appointment is necessary. 

This is a great option if you are unable to vote at your usual polling place on Election Day, or if you have run out of time to request a mail ballot. Voting early in-person is very similar to voting at a polling place.
