RI elections board approves early voting regulations
For four years, local election administrators have relied on a single sentence in state law to carry out early in-person voting.
Not anymore.
Regulations approved by a 4-0 vote of the Rhode Island Board of Elections at its meeting Tuesday codify and add detail to the process and protections for early voting, available at designated locations 20 days before primary and general elections.
“The state board, and local boards, were looking for some sort of structure and rules around conduct of early voting so it can be a more formalized process, and more uniform,” Miguel Nunez, elections board executive director, said in an interview Tuesday.
