Cranston 2022 Primary Voter Guide: Key Races, How To Vote

CRANSTON, RI — Cranston voters will go to the polls on Sept. 13 to cast a ballot in the statewide primary.

In the primary, voters had multiple options: either mailing in ballots, voting early or going to the polls as usual on Election Day.

With plenty of voting options in place and a ton of candidates on the ballot, Patch has put together a 2022 Cranston primary voting guide to get you primed and ready to vote. Here's everything you need to know:

The Rundown

• Primary election date: Sept. 13
• Election day polling hours: 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.
• Check if you are registered to vote.
• Find out where you vote.
• Track your mail-in ballot.

Polling place

If you're voting in person on Sept. 13, it's possible you'll have a new polling location.

Due to the 2020 Census, most cities and towns in Rhode Island redrew voting districts to compensate for population shifts. Most likely you'll be voting in the same old place (or by mail), but you can check to make sure here.

Who's on the ballot?

Since it's a primary, your ballot will feature only candidates from the party you've chosen to vote for. Primary elections decide which candidate from the major political parties advance to compete in the November general election. Only the winners of the general election go on to hold office.

Cranston also has a non partisan school committee race going on in Ward 5. The candidates are Arthur Scavitti, Kimberly Lettieri and Tera Norberg for one seat.
