1. Mail ballot
The deadline for applying to vote by mail in the 9/13 Democratic primary is Tuesday 8/23/2022 at 4:00 pm. If you have not applied for a mail ballot by 8/23, then you must vote either early in-person at city hall, or at your polling location on election day.
​
Mail ballots will be sent to all voters who completed and returned their mail ballot application before the deadline. Once you complete your mail ballot, you can drop it off at city hall in a secure dropbox outside or mail it to the Board of Canvassers at this address:
​
Providence Board of Canvassers
Providence City Hall
25 Dorrance Street, Room 102
Providence, RI 02903

Mail ballots must be received by 8:00 pm on Primary Election Day, September 13th, so make sure you mail yours a few days earlier, or drop it off before the deadline.
