You can now register to vote when you conduct a permit or license transaction at a DMV Branch Office. All licensing transaction forms contain a section where you can indicate if you wish to register to vote or update your current voter registration.

To register to vote in Rhode Island you must be:

• a U.S. Citizen; and
• a Rhode Island resident; and
• at least 18 years old on or before the next election.

In order to vote in a future election you must be registered 30 days before all primaries and elections.

Normally, you should receive confirmation of your voter status within 2 to 3 weeks from the date you registered with the DMV. If you have not received confirmation, please contact your local Board of Canvassers.
