BRISTOL-WARREN, RI — After a marathon political campaign, Election Day 2020 is finally here.

According to Secretary of State Nellie Gorbea's office, more than 294,000 Rhode Island voters had cast their votes as of Monday evening, marking a 36.3 percent turnout.

But if you're heading out to the polls to vote in person — or have already voted today — we want to hear from you.
