Lincoln's Twin River referedum vote tomorrow

LINCOLN — The quiet campaign for the town’s non-binding referendum on possible gambling expansion at Twin River will end tomorrow, with voters heading to the polls in an unusual weekend vote.

The two questions on the ballot are: “Do you support the expansion of gaming hours at Twin River (formerly known as Lincoln Park) from its current closing hours to 24 hours per day, seven days per week?” and “Do you support the expansion of gaming operations at Twin River (formerly known as Lincoln Park) to include full-scale casino gambling operations including, but not limited to, table games?”

The polls are open from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m.

The polling places are: the new middle school, at 152 Jenckes Hill Rd.; St. James Elementary School, at 57 Division St. in the Manville section; Lonsdale Elementary School, at 270 River Rd. in Lonsdale; and Saylesville Elementary School, at 50 Woodland St. in Saylesville.

There are two more upcoming elections in Rhode Island on Tuesday:

-- In Newport the Democratic primary will be held for state representative in District 75, left vacant by the September death of long-time Democratic lawmaker Paul W. Crowley. The general election in that race is scheduled for Dec. 18.

-- And in Smithfield, voters will decide whether to recall Town Council President StephenTocco, a Democrat. It's the first time in the town such a vote has been held.
