Secretary of State Mollis Announces Important Deadline for Primary Voters
Thursday, May 29, 2014
Rhode Island Secretary of State A. Ralph Mollis has announced that the deadline for primary voters to disaffiliate is Wednesday, June 11, 2014.
Any person intending to vote in a primary must be disaffiliated from any other political party (if a member) at least 90 days prior to the primary.
If you are a registered voter, and voted in any of the 2012 party primaries, you are currently registered in that party. You must disaffiliate from that party if you wish to vote in another party’s primary. The political parties in Rhode Island are Democrat, Moderate and Republican. If you are an Unaffiliated/Independent Voter, you may choose the party primary for which you wish to vote, and you will then become a member of that party.

By visiting this site, voters can also learn more information about their elected officials, check their voter registration status, locate their local board of canvassers, and view sample ballots for upcoming elections as well as learn where their polling place is.”
