Gorbea’s office has a website where residents can register to vote online or update their voter information if they moved or changed their names.
The registration deadline falls on a state holiday in Rhode Island, Victory Day. Gorbea says every municipality has arranged for residents to register or change their address using a paper form.
The deadline to vote by mail is Aug. 22. Voters must submit their mail ballots to their local board of canvassers.
