VOTE! Are you registered? Did you update your address?
Election 2020 is coming up with the Primary Election on August 8 and the General Election on November 3. See who the candidates and offices they are running for here. Voting is going to be different this year. You can vote by mail so you don’t even have to leave home. 2020 voting will be by mail but early walk-in voting will still be available at Voter Service Centers (Honolulu and Kapolei Hales) and drop boxes. For more information, see the Honolulu Elections Division website. What is important is that you are registered to vote. You can register, update your voter information (if you moved since the last election), or confirm your voter registration address online by going here. July 9 is the deadline to register for the Primary Election. Voters will begin to receive their Primary Election ballots starting July 21 and the election closes on August 8 at 7 pm. Find more voter information on the State Office of Elections website
