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 statewide primary being held on September 9, 2026.
The deadline for individuals to be registered to vote to participate in the statewide primary is August 10, 2026. 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 10, 2026.
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 available on Monday, August 10 (a State holiday).
Mail ballot applications are also available now. 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 Wednesday, August 19, 2026.
