Rhode Island H7234 changes primary election date to Wednesday if it falls after Labor Day and allows, but does not mandate, voter registration drives.

Rhode Island H7234 amends the primary election date to be held on the Wednesday following Labor Day if the eighth Tuesday preceding biennial state elections falls on the day after Labor Day. This bill also changes the requirement for local boards to conduct voter registration drives at high schools to a permissive allowance, meaning they may conduct such drives but are not mandated to do so. This act would take effect upon passage.
