Where Is Your Polling Place?

Tomorrow is Election Day 2012 — here's your guide to local polling places and the new Voter ID law.

Schools in Johnston will be closed, since they serve as polling places in town.

Polls are open until 8 pm in Johnston on Tuesday.

Here's a quick run-down of tomorrow's election, including where you can find your local polling place:

What about Voter ID?

This year, all Rhode Island voters will be required to show a valid ID prior to voting, which include driver's licenses, passports, school identification cards, and RIPTA bus passes, among others, according to the Secretary of State's Voter ID web page. A photo ID will be required in 2014.

Voters who do not have an ID tomorrow can fill out a provisional ballot, which will be checked against their signature on their voting application (on file with the town's board of canvassers). If the signatures match, the provisional ballot will be considered vaild.
