Voter ID Law
Rhode Island requires a valid photo ID to vote. If you do not bring a photo ID to the polls, you may cast a provisional ballot. Provisional ballots then are returned to a local board of canvassers, where election officials will make sure a mail ballot has not already been cast to ensure people do not vote twice.
Where Do I vote?
Rhode Island voters can find their designated polling location on the Rhode Island Secretary of State's website.
