Secretary of State Gregg M. Amore today announced the RI Department of State’s Voter Turnout Tracker data visualization tool is now available for the November 7, 2023 special election.

The Voter Turnout Tracker allows users to easily track how many votes have been cast in every Rhode Island municipality, down to the precinct level. Users can also explore how many votes have been cast by mail ballot or early in-person.

The tracker will be updated twice each day: once mid-day and again each evening. The data displayed in the turnout tracker reflect the most up-to-date voting totals reported by each municipality. These numbers are preliminary and will not represent final turnout numbers.

The tracker has been updated with a drilldown feature that allows viewers to see the turnout for each special election.

Early in-person voting runs through 4:00 p.m. on November 6. Early voting hours and locations for each community with a special election can be found online here.

Voters can also cast their ballot onElection Day, November 7, until 8 p.m. at their assigned polling place.

Voters can determine if they have a special election in their community by viewing their voter record on vote.ri.gov.
