Rhode Island has introduced a new mobile website tool to help smartphone-carrying voters on Election Day.

Secretary of State Nellie Gorbea says the tool will allow voters to check their registration status and find a polling location using a mobile device.

They can also view a sample ballot, check election hours and get a map to their polling place.

The tool has been launched in time for the state's presidential preference primary on April 26.

Both the mobile and desktop versions of the tool can be accessed at the secretary of state'sVoter Information Center.
