RI unveils new voter app for mobile devices

PROVIDENCE, R.I. — The Rhode Island secretary of state’s office has unveiled a new application, designed to assist voters from mobile devices such as cellphones and tablets.

Secretary of State A. Ralph Mollis says the app known as RI VIC helps Rhode Islanders learn their voter status, find out where to vote, research district information, and even get GPS directions to their polling place.

Mollis says the app is user-friendly and puts voter information literally in the palm of residents’ hands no matter where they are.

The app is free and available for online download for Apple devices at the Apple store, and for android devices at Google Play.
