AN ACT RELATING TO ELECTIONS -- CONDUCT OF ELECTION AND VOTING EQUIPMENT, AND SUPPLIES

Summary

The bill changes Rhode Island election statutes so that any write‑in votes, even for people not on the ballot, must be saved as digital images and posted on the state board’s website. Local canvassing boards must examine write‑in votes when their total could change an election result, and the state board must keep detailed vote books for each office. The goal is to make write‑in voting more transparent and ensure those votes are counted correctly.
