Ballot comparison

Who is running?

Review all 15 printed choices across six statewide candidate contests. Declared candidates marked off the election ballot are excluded.

Campaign records

What did candidates report?

Compare 12 exact Rhode Island campaign-finance summaries and three processed FEC Senate summaries. Every displayed amount retains its source window.

Voting information

When and how do I vote?

Review registration, early in-person voting, mail-ballot application and return, photo identification, polling hours, and local lookup links.

How to read the money: Rhode Island state cards reproduce the Board of Elections portal's Total Cash, Total Liabilities, Beginning Balance, and Ending Balance fields. Four records cover activity through September 1, seven through June 30, and one through June 30, 2024. Federal cards use processed FEC candidate summaries with candidate-specific windows. These are not synchronized snapshots.
