RI Department of State Reminds Voters of Upcoming Registration, Disaffiliation Deadlines for September Primary
PROVIDENCE, RI – Secretary of State Gregg M. Amore and the RI Department of State Elections Division are today reminding eligible voters of important deadlines for the Primary Election being held on September 10, 2024.
The deadline for individuals to be registered to vote to participate in the Primary Election is August 11, 2024. The deadline for voters to disaffiliate, if they wish to vote in a primary for a party other than the party with which they are currently affiliated, is also August 11, 2024. Under a new law, unaffiliated voters who vote in a party primary no longer need to disaffiliate after voting and will automatically remain unaffiliated.
Both processes can be completed online at vote.ri.gov or by visiting your local board of canvassers' office. Below is a list of local voter registration form drop-off locations which will be open on Sunday, August 11.
Mail ballot applications are also available. Registered voters can apply for a mail ballot using a paper form or the RI Department of State's online mail ballot application portal. The deadline to request a mail ballot for the Primary Election is 4 p.m. on Tuesday, August 20, 2024. Voters are also reminded of a new law that allows mail ballot applications received within three days of the deadline to be accepted, so long as they are postmarked by the deadline.
Voters can find important information and deadlines online here.

La fecha límite para que las personas se inscriban para votar y participen en las Elecciones Primarias es el 11 de agosto del 2024.

La fecha límite para solicitar una papeleta de votación por correo para las Elecciones Primarias es el martes 20 de agosto del 2024 hasta las 4:00 p.m. También se recuerda a los votantes una nueva ley que permite aceptar las solicitudes para votar por correo recibidas dentro de los tres días anteriores a la fecha límite, siempre que lleven franqueo de la fecha límite.
