RegistrationRhode Island’s official election office lists the voter-registration deadline for the November 3, 2026 statewide general election as October 4, 2026. I did not infer this from any other source.Official details ↗

Early votingThe state election office says early voting is allowed in person for the 20 days before Election Day. For the November 3, 2026 general election, the office lists the early-voting period as starting October 14, 2026. I did not verify an end date beyond the 20-day rule on the official page.Official details ↗

Absentee or mailRhode Island’s official election office says mail-ballot applications for the November 3, 2026 general election are due by October 13, 2026. The office also says the ballot must be returned by 8 p.m. on Election Day, November 3, 2026, to count. The office notes that some voters may use emergency ballots after the application deadline, but I did not infer eligibility beyond what the office states.Official details ↗

What may still change

The official site uses the term 'mail ballot' rather than 'absentee ballot' for most voters.
The early-voting page says the 20-day period is under Rhode Island General Law, but it does not spell out every location and hour on the summary page.
The mail-ballot page says some voters may be eligible for emergency ballots after the application deadline; eligibility depends on the reason and local office rules.
I relied only on the Rhode Island Board of Elections pages shown above and did not infer any deadline not explicitly listed there.
Rhode Island’s official candidate pages show candidates who are certified/qualified as of the page timestamps, but the 'Won E' column is still blank on these pages because the November 3, 2026 general election has not happened yet.
I used only the Rhode Island Secretary of State’s official candidate list pages for the offices included below.
Per your instructions, I excluded U.S. House, state legislative, judicial-retention, county, city, and local races.
For Governor, the official candidate page shows four Democratic candidates and four Republican candidates on the primary ballot, plus no election-ballot candidates yet on that page as of the timestamp. I treated 'certified candidate' as the official list of candidates on the candidate summary page, not as the final general-election slate unless the page explicitly showed them on the election ballot.

Key facts

I could not reliably extract a current official candidate summary page for General Treasurer from the official Rhode Island candidate search with the information available here.
Rhode Island’s official site does list General Treasurer as a statewide office, but the candidate summary page for that office was not confirmed in the retrieved results.
Because you asked for every certified candidate, I am flagging this race as information incomplete rather than guessing.
