Or visit the city hall in person

So you're from California and you are homeless and your priority is finding a way to vote here? No offense but I think you have bigger problems than trying to vote in this election. Not to mention it's past the registration deadline.

Yep! You can register with crossroads or any other such organization as your address. Maybe talk to the coalition for the homeless for more tips. But check out the state website and register to vote.

Past the registration deadline is fair, but every citizen has the right to vote, regardless of what you think their priorities should be.

Why wouldn’t it be a priority?

No offense taken, but I have made tremendous improvements in my situation since I became homeless two months ago. Thank you for bringing to my attention that’s it’s past the deadline, I appreciate it.

Because winter is coming and it's going to get really cold. They are from California so they may not be used to this kind of cold. Getting shelter and possibly a job would be a priority if it was me. I wouldn't be looking how to vote, I would be looking how to survive.

I already have a job and I’ve been lucky enough to get into a decent homeless shelter, and I am also starting to build up my winter wardrobe. At this point, I’m just saving up to rent a room/apartment.

Wow this has got to be one of the craziest post I've ever seen regarding a homeless individual, usually it's them juggling between a roof over their head or if the roof is pet friendly. So I see you got a job and into a decent shelter which is great, finding a room shouldn't be hard once you stack up money but finding and affordable apartment that might be a challenge.

Out of curiosity what brings you from CA to RI?

I'm actually trying to do the opposite and move back to CA

Good for you- I hope you continue to find ways to get your feet under you and that you find supportive services and people to help you on your journey. It is totally reasonable that you see voting as a necessary part of your survival too, because it is. And bravo for you for including it in your plan. It may, in fact, be too late this time… but you might be able to cast a provisional ballot (?) and I agree with the earlier commenter who said that checking in with Crossroads is probably a good place to start. You can also call the RI board of elections and see if they have any advice. The staff there is super helpful 401-222-2345. Honestly even bringing up the conversation here, and asking the questions to the BOE is a form of advocacy because it keeps people having voter access conversations thinking about specific situations like the one you are describing. ❤️ good luck to you and cheers for all the good work you’ve already done.

Don’t you think as someone displaced and relying on social/gov assistance they have the most at stake when it comes to who gets into office? You should be happy that even those who have so much going on in their lives are getting out there to vote instead of just letting all the bitter geriatrics decide who’s going to be in office.

You can’t do both? 24 hours in a day… I think OP can do both.

Don’t California my Rhode Island?

Looks like the current voting pool is doing it without any added help.

Bitter geriatrics? Alot of them need assistance especially in this economic mess. Hell they need it more than lazy entitled blue, green haired able bodied youth who worry more about getting to the dispensary than to work..

So they shouldn't be allowed to vote unless they agree with you?

Well technically they can't do both as registration for voting has already ended...

You're in the wrong state

Did you know that you can care about more than one thing?

The deadline was a few days ago. It’s 30 days before the election. Demanding a change to that is an excellent cause to get behind

Did you know adding in your two cents at this point is useless?

Same could be said to you, kid

Hope not

No need to pit elder voters against youth voters! Both perspectives matter a great deal.
