WOONSOCKET, RI—Unofficial results from the November 3 election in Woonsocket are in, with the majority of voters showing support for Joe Biden's campaign and voting in favor of passing the statewide ballot question, though the majority was slight in both cases. The passing of Question 1 in Rhode Island means the official name of the state will change, dropping "Providence Plantations" from its title. According to Rhode Island Secretary of State Nellie M. Gorbea, voters in Rhode Island overwhelmingly chose to vote by mail, with 83 percent sending mail-in ballots compared the the nine percent of voters who voted by mail in the 2016 general election. Voters in Woonsocket were choosing sides in the presidential race, a U.S. House race, a U.S. Senate race, a state General Assembly race, a local mayoral and City Council race, and one statewide ballot question.
