At the top of September’s ballot, U.S. Sen. Jack Reed will face Democratic challenger Christopher Young. There are local primaries for state representative, state senate, city council and school committee in many communities this year.

In order to register to vote, you must be at least 18 years of age, a U.S. citizen, a resident of Rhode Island and have a valid social security number or Rhode Island driver’s license. Registering to vote is free.
