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

Summary

The bill changes Rhode Island election law to require every write‑in vote to be stored and posted on the state board’s website, even if the candidate is ineligible. It also sets rules for “irregular ballots,” allowing mixed‑ticket votes for presidential electors but otherwise invalidating them. Local canvassing boards must review write‑in totals when they could change an election outcome.
