Voting in Richmond Elections and Referendums
With a series of elections and referendums coming up this year, it’s worth highlighting that there are a number of different ways to vote. First, it’s worth highlighting how to register to vote. For most elections, you have to register to vote at least thirty days before the election. However, in Rhode Island, you can register to vote the same day that you vote, but you’ll only be able to cast a vote for the President that day.
Scenes from an informative tour of Shannock Village in Richmond on Saturday morning. Participants started the tour in the space that is expected to become a small riverside restaurant. There were discussions of future mixed-use development that included a variety of housing, community green space, and the ongoing site remediation efforts.
Thanks to the Richmond Economic Development Commission for arranging this event.
