Rhode Island Regulations § 410-RICR-20-00-17.5 Participation
Regulation Text
A.
An unaffiliated voter will be considered a participant in a primary election (and thus affiliated with the political party in whose primary they participated) if they complete and sign a ballot application. The types of ballot applications are:
1.
Precinct Ballot Application - An application a voter must complete and sign at a polling place before an election official can issue the voter a ballot.
2.
Mail Ballot Application - An application of a voter must complete if they are unable to vote in person on Election Day.
3.
Provisional Ballot Application - An application a voter completes and signs when the voter's eligibility is in question, regardless if the ballot is qualified or disqualified.
B.
Upon completing and signing a ballot application for a primary, an unaffiliated voter will become affiliated with the party in whose primary they have applied to vote. Even if the voter does not cast a ballot in the primary election, as long as they complete and sign the ballot application they will be deemed a member of that political party.
