Rhode Islanders who have questions about the voting process can call 2-1-1 for assistance.
Secretary of State Gregg M. Amore, the RI Department of State Elections Division, and United Way of Rhode Island are today reminding voters that election information is available by dialing 2-1-1.
Trained United Way 211 call specialists will be able to answer questions about this year’s election, including polling locations and times, how to vote early in person, where to return a mail ballot and Election Day voting information.
“As Election Day draws closer, voters are beginning to cast their ballots by mail, voting early, or making a plan for November 5, which might mean they have questions about our elections processes,” Amore said in a statement. “This partnership with United Way of Rhode Island greatly expands our capacity to provide assistance to voters, and I encourage anyone with questions to take advantage of this free service to ensure they are ready to vote over the coming weeks.”
Amore said the service is available 24 hours a day and in multiple languages.
“Voting is one of the most powerful tools we have to shape our communities, and United Way of Rhode Island is proud to partner once again with the Department of State to make sure every voter has the information they need,” said Cristina Amedeo, senior director of community services at United Way of Rhode Island, in a statement. “By dialing 2-1-1, voters can access essential election details and ensure their voices are heard, contributing to a more engaged and informed Rhode Island.”
The RI Department of State and United Way of Rhode Island are partnering for the third election to provide this resource to voters.
