Rhode Island has a ‘semi-closed’ party primary system. This means that you may only vote in your party’s primary election. However, if you are registered as an “unaffiliated” voter, you may vote in the primary of any party you choose. You will remain an unaffiliated voter after voting in a particular party’s primary. - If you are affiliated with a political party and wish to disaffiliate, you may do so by updating your voter registration at any time. The disaffiliation takes effect in 30 days. If you wish to vote in another party's primary, you must disaffiliate at least 30 days before the primary date.
