Voters who are voting by mail ballot and have not yet returned their ballot should plan to do so by dropping off their ballot at a secure elections drop box or polling place. Mail ballots must be received by 8 p.m. on Tuesday, September 5. Voters can find their nearest secure elections drop box by using the Drop Box Locator tool on the RI Department of State website.
Voters planning to vote at their polling place on September 5 can look up their polling place online by viewing their voter record on the RI Department of State website. All voters voting in person, whether early or on special primary day, must bring an acceptable photo ID.
