Where to Go

Due to last year's remapping of state and local districts in Rhode Island following the 2010 Census, many districts have changed around the state. Click here for a map of Tiverton to see if your Senate, Representative and local precinct numbers (and your local polling location) have changed.

  • RI driver's license
  • US passport
  • ID card issued by US educational institution
  • US military identification card
  • State of Rhode Island or US government issued ID card
