Sec. 11-1. - When provisions of article apply.

The State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations Constitution, Article XIII, entitled, Home Rule for Cities and Town, explicitly reserves the power over elections and election procedures to the general assembly. All election processes and procedures are therefore defined and set forth by the general assembly and preempt any provision herein. The provisions of this article only apply to the extent that they do not conflict with the laws as enacted and as may be amended by the General Assembly.
