How do I register to vote?

You can now register to vote online at the Voter Information Center: https://vote.sos.ri.gov/. Here you can register to vote, check your voter registration and find your polling location. You can also register to vote in Rhode Island by completing a voter registration form which may be obtained at the Burrillville Board of Canvassers at the town building or the RI Board of Elections. You can download the form from the State Board of Elections website:  https://elections.ri.gov/voting/registration.php . Many agencies which serve the public, such as the Department of Motor Vehicles, Department of Human Services, and the Department of Mental Health offer voter registration services to their clients as mandated by the National Voter Registration Act.

Voter ID

Voter ID became law in 2014. Under this law (RIGL §17-19-24.2) all voters are required to present valid photo identification prior to voting at the polls. Voters will need to present one of the following forms of photo ID:

  • RI Driver's License/Driver’s Permit
  • RI Voter ID Card *
  • U.S. Passport
  • Photo ID issued by a U.S. educational institution
  • U.S. military photo ID
  • Photo ID card issued by the United States or the State of Rhode Island
  • Government issued medical card with photo
  • ID Card issued by any federally recognized tribal government

     

*The Rhode Island Department of State is issuing free voter photo ID cards to individuals who do not possess any of the valid Photo IDs listed above. See the Department of State’s website for additional information on the program, or call (401) 222-2340.

Protecting Your Vote

No eligible voter will be turned away at the polls. Voters who do not bring ID to the polls can vote using a standard provisional ballot.
