PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WLNE) — Secretary of State Gregg Amore and Attorney General Peter Neronha remind Rhode Islanders of their voting rights with a new guide in preparation for the presidential election.

According to the Rhode Island Department of State, the nine main voting rights detailed in the guide include: You have the right to vote without any pressure or intimidation. You have the right to vote by mail for any reason. You have the right to fix your mail ballot or mail ballot application if it is rejected. You have the right to vote in-person before Election Day. You have the right to bring one of many different photo IDs to identify yourself at your voting location. You have the right to request a provisional ballot if you are a registered voter and your name is not on the voter list at your designated polling place, or if you don’t have your acceptable photo ID. You have the right to vote regardless of your gender identity. You have the right to vote as soon as you are released from prison and you may also vote while you have been charged with a crime or are awaiting trial, sentencing, or incarceration. You have the right to bring someone with you to vote. For more information, contact the RI Department of State through email at [email protected], call 401-222-2340, or go online to vote.ri.gov.
