Democrat Gabe Amo and Republican Gerry Leonard face off in a special congressional election in Rhode Island on Tuesday to complete the term of former Democratic congressman David Cicilline
Democrat Gabe Amo and Republican Gerry Leonard face off in a special congressional election in Rhode Island on Tuesday to complete the term of former Democratic U.S. Rep. David Cicilline, who resigned in May after seven terms. Also on the ballot is a special election for state Senate. Amo, a former Obama and Biden White House aide, won a crowded Democratic primary in September, defeating a field that included state Sen. Sandra Cano, Lt. Gov. Sabina Matos and former state Rep. Aaron Regunberg.
The Associated Press will provide coverage for two races: a special U.S. House election in the 1st Congressional District and a special election in state Senate District 1. WHO GETS TO VOTE?Voters must be registered in either U.S. House District 1 or state Senate District 1 to participate in either special election.
Special elections tend to have lower voter turnout compared to regularly scheduled elections. In a close contest, the margin between the first- and second-place candidates may be a relatively small number of votes. This may slow the race-calling process as a handful of absentee, provisional or other untallied ballots could play a decisive role in determining the result.
As of Wednesday, U.S. House District 1 had 341,387 registered voters. Democrats comprised 45%, Republicans 12% and unaffiliated voters 43%. State Senate District 1 had 14,523 registered voters, including 57% Democrats, 7% Republicans and 36% unaffiliated. Turnout for the 2022 general election in U.S. House District 1 was 40% of registered voters.
