The Board of Elections is the state agency of dedicated professionals responsible for regulating various aspects of the elections process within Rhode Island.
Voters who cast their ballot via mail or secure dropbox for the Nov. 5th election can use Ballottrax to track the status of submitted mail ballots. The tool tracks ballot envelopes, not votes, so your vote remains confidential through the tracking process.
