Can I collect visa numbers from participants in Rhode Island? What are the requirements?
Based on the available information, it is unclear whether collecting visa numbers from participants in Rhode Island is permissible or not. However, it is important to note that the Rhode Island Board of Elections has adopted rules and regulations relating to voter identification [2.1][2.2]. These rules and regulations are adopted for the purpose of implementing the voter identification (“Voter ID") requirements of R.I. Gen. Laws § 17-19-24.2 and to address those voter identification issues not otherwise specifically referred to in the Rhode Island General laws [2.2].
Therefore, if you are collecting visa numbers for the purpose of voter identification, you may need to comply with the rules and regulations adopted by the Rhode Island Board of Elections. It is recommended that you review these rules and regulations to determine the requirements for collecting visa numbers from participants in Rhode Island [2.1][2.2].
However, if you are collecting visa numbers for a purpose other than voter identification, it is recommended that you consult with a legal professional to determine the legality of collecting such information in Rhode Island.
