Providence’s Board of Canvassers reviewed a batch of proposed election laws and took formal positions on each one. The board supported a bill that would restrict who can handle mail ballots, but opposed several measures tied to ranked choice voting, presidential electors, and national popular vote changes. Members also discussed possible changes to Providence’s early voting site because new state rules may require the area to be closed off like a polling place. The board also got an update on Candidate School, scheduled for May 6 at the Public Safety Complex.
