In one of the most-watched U.S. Senate races this political season, incumbent Sen. Lincoln D. Chafee and his Democratic challenger, Sheldon Whitehouse, plan to vote early tomorrow and then return to the campaign trail.

They’ll keep at it until late tomorrow, when they both plan to catch up with their supporters and party loyalists at election receptions.

Chafee announced today that he plans to vote with his wife, Stephanie, at 7 a.m. in Exeter, in the cafeteria of the Metcalf School, at 30 Nooseneck Rd. Whitehouse said he plans to vote at 7:30 a.m. at Temple Beth-El, at 70 Orchard Ave. in Providence.

Chafee’s campaign announced two anticipated stops during voting hours tomorrow but stressed that the times are approximate. They plan to be in Warwick at 8:30 a.m. at the Potowomut Elementary School, 225 Potowomut Rd., and in Cranston at 11:30 a.m. at the George J. Peters School, 15 Mayberry St.

Whitehouse’s campaign said they’re still working out his schedule and haven’t yet finalized where he will be tomorrow.

Both candidates know where their election parties will be. Chafee plans to join supporters at 9 p.m. at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Warwick. Whitehouse expects to join his followers at the Providence Biltmore hotel tomorrow night.
