Election season is upon us and I am excited that Rhode Islanders now have more ways to vote than ever, thanks to passage of the Let RI Vote Act. This new law codifies voting measures that were put in place during the 2020 election during the pandemic, such as expanding access to early voting and vote-by-mail.
I have always been very passionate about voting access, something that many of us take for granted, and am so proud of the work my colleagues and I did to pass the Let RI Vote Act.
Since things are a little different this year, I wanted to reach out and make sure you have a plan to vote this year. It is a big year, with many local, state, and national offices to be filled.
There are three ways to vote this year:
By Mail Ballot
September 13 – Deadline to return your primary mail ballot if you applied for one
October 18 – Deadline to apply for a general election mail ballot
November 8 – Deadline to return your general election mail ballot
