General Election Information

Now that the September 10 primary is over, I wanted to make sure you have these important upcoming voting dates in your calendar:

  • October 6 - Voter registration deadline

  • October 15 - Mail ballot request deadline

  • October 16 - Early voting begins

  • November 5 - General Election

If you voted by mail for the primary and want to vote by mail for the general election, you must submit a separate mail ballot application, which you can do now through October 15. Click here to request a mail ballot.

This is a big election for our nation, state, and locally. You can double check your voter registration on the Secretary of State’s website, as well as can view a sample ballot, find your current elected officials, and find your voting location. Encourage your friends and family to check their voter registration as well.

Here is the contact information for the canvassing offices in Newport and Jamestown. They can also answer any of your elections related questions.
