Rhode Island Voter Information Handbook 2014

In preparation for November's general election, R.I. Secretary of State A. Ralph Mollis wants voters to be on the lookout for the 2014 Rhode Island Voter Information Handbook, which should begin appearing in local mailboxes in early October.

The 31-page guide includes all seven statewide referenda questions and explanations, which will appear on November's ballot, along with the races for the U.S. Senate, U.S. House of Representatives, and Statewide General Offices, as well as for state senator, state representative and many municipal offices.

The guide will also include information about voting at the polls, voting by mail ballot, and contact information for your local Board of Canvassers or Election Office, as well as the state's Voter ID law.

The guide is also posted on our website at VOTER INFORMATION HANDBOOK 2014 to make it easy for the general public, voters, and candidates to share the information with friends, family and supporters.  Government belongs to the people. The more they know, the better they will be served.

State law requires the Secretary of State's office to publish and mail the handbook to every residential household in Rhode Island prior to every general election.
