Why vote? In this election, the County voters will vote for nonpartisan races that include Mayor, County Prosecuting Attorney, and all the County Council members. If any of these get more than 50% of the vote, they are elected. If not, the top two vote-getters move on to the General Election November 3. So your vote COUNTS!
If you have not received your ballot by mail: Call Hawaii County Elections Office at 808-961-8277
The State Legislature voted for all vote by mail well before the COVID-19 Pandemic, after a trial “all vote by mail” in Kaua’i County. This is the first “all vote by mail” election for Hawaii.
