Deadline today for switching voter affiliation

PROVIDENCE – Today is the deadline for voters who want to change their affiliations to be eligible to vote in the Sept. 12 primary.

Under Rhode Island's hybrid primary system, independents -- also known as unaffiliated voters -- can vote in either the Republican or Democratic primaries. But registered Democrats and Republicans are allowed only to vote in their respective primaries.

Voters have until 4 p.m. to visit their local town or city halls and change their affiliation.
