Update 1/24: Previously referenced January 26th as deadline, updated to January 27th based on Rhode Island Secretary of State site

Attention Rhode Islanders! — Rhode Island has semi-closed primaries which means you must affiliate as a Democrat or undeclared to vote for Bernie Sanders in the primary. To complicate matters, Rhode Island also has an early deadline for affiliating, which is on January 27th, 2016 – Only 7 days away as of this posting.

Rhode Island does not have online voter registration, which makes this process a bit more difficult, but VoteForBernie aims to make it as easy as possible to register to vote. Follow the simple instructions below to ensure you are able to Vote For Bernie in the Rhode Island primary on April 26th.

Not registered at all?

If you are not registered to vote you technically have until March 27th to register. Waiting is not recommended. There are already several states in which it is too late for many Bernie supporters to change their affiliation to vote for him, and they feel left out. Don’t be left out!
