Sources

2022 (certified): the RI.gov results site with RI Board of Elections data, marked "Official results: Updated November 22, 2022 02:54 PM". We used the per-town JSON files listed at https://www.ri.gov/election/results/2022/general_election/data/:
Town files: https://rigov.s3.amazonaws.com/election/results/2022/general_election/.json (39 files, e.g. .../providence.json)
Statewide totals: https://rigov.s3.amazonaws.com/election/results/2022/general_election/statewide.json
2026 (unofficial): RI Board of Elections results site, https://electionresults.ri.gov/results/public/rhodeisland/elections/2026StatewideGeneralElection. We used the "results by City & Town" API for each contest:
CD1: https://electionresults.ri.gov/results/public/api/elections/rhodeisland/2026StatewideGeneralElection/data/ballot-item/01000000-59ac-daed-f559-08df1e27a28f
CD2: https://electionresults.ri.gov/results/public/api/elections/rhodeisland/2026StatewideGeneralElection/data/ballot-item/01000000-59ac-daed-5006-08df1e27a757
As of: the API's asOf is 2026-11-09T19:29:55Z (2:29 pm ET), and isOfficialResults = false.
Town→county mapping: Census 2020 county subdivisions, https://www2.census.gov/geo/docs/reference/codes2020/cousub/st44_ri_cousub2020.txt. All 39 municipalities matched.

Validation (sum of county rows)

	D	R	Other
2022 this file (town rows)	201,581	150,018	6,049
2022 FEC certified	201,750	150,024	6,049
2026 this file (town rows, excl. "Federal")	232,248	118,765	6,938
2026 incl. "Federal" pseudo-locality	232,997	118,780	6,951
2026 national aggregate (Nov 9 6:10 pm ET)	232,225	118,449	n/a

2022 gap (−169 D, −6 R): the official statewide file (statewide.json) shows exactly the FEC totals. The 39 town files sum to 169 D and 6 R fewer, so that many votes are counted statewide but appear in no town file. These are almost certainly federal-only (UOCAVA/federal-office-only) ballots, which RI tabulates at state level; see the 2026 "Federal" locality below. They are not in our county totals.
2026 statewide-only votes: the BOE breakdown has a "Federal" locality that cannot be assigned to a town. It holds CD1 D 437 / R 11 / other 12 and CD2 D 312 / R 4 / other 1, for a total of D 749, R 15, O 13. These are excluded from the county totals, consistent with 2022.
2026 town sums are +23 (D) and +316 (R) from the national aggregate, which fits slightly different count times. The BOE's own district totals equal our town sums plus "Federal".

Districts with no D or no R candidate

2022: none (CD1 Cicilline D / Waters R; CD2 Magaziner D / Fung R).
2026: none (CD1 Amo D / Keenan R; CD2 Magaziner D / Mellor R).

Caveats

o:
2022 = Gilbert (Moderate, CD2) 5,489 + write-ins 560.
2026 = DeSouza (Independent, CD1) 6,211 + write-ins 740, minus the "Federal" rows.
2026 is unofficial. Mail/provisional processing was still marked "Election night complete" (not "fully reported") for some towns, so totals may change.

These notes record where each number came from and how it was checked. 2026 figures are unofficial. See the methodology and disclaimer.
