Tomorrow we are one week out from the Primary Election, September 13th. Early voting has been open since August 24th and will remain available until Monday, September 12th. Please visit the Secretary of State's website to view a sample ballot and double-check your polling place.
This year's general election is on Tuesday, November 8th. The deadline to register to vote in the general election is October 9th. If you are planning to vote by mail in the general election, the deadline to submit your mail ballot application is Tuesday, October 18th. Early voting for the general election will be available from October 19th through November 7th.
Voting is always essential and local elections are especially so. Local government impacts the everyday life of all residents; the City Council and School Committee shape the future of our City. Your vote helps determine who is doing that work. To help you make your decision, there are candidate forums for School Committee on September 29th and City Council on October 6th, both at 5:30 pm at Innovate Newport.
