Hawaii conducts statewide elections in even-numbered years. The primary election is held on the second Saturday in August and the general election is held on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November.
Hawaii voters do not declare a political affiliation with the voter registration pursuant to the Hawaii State Constitution, ensuring every voter’s right to secrecy. On the primary election ballot, voters must first select a political affiliation and then vote for candidates of the political affiliation of their choice only.
Voters may also vote for candidates for the Office of Hawaiian Affairs and county contests regardless of party affiliation.
You must be a registered voter to receive a ballot. Then, you will receive your ballot in the mail. To vote, review the instructions, contests, and candidates on your ballot and make your selections. You can also leave a contest blank and it will not impact your votes.
After voting, fold the ballot and slip it into the ballot secrecy sleeve. Insert the ballot secrecy sleeve into your return envelope and be sure to sign. Your ballot cannot be counted without your signature on the return envelope.
Return your ballot by mail or by dropping it off at a place of deposit. Your voted ballot must be received by your County Elections Divisions by 7:00 pm on Election Day to be counted.
If you did not receive your ballot, please contact your County Elections Division and they will issue you a replacement ballot.
If you make a mistake, misplace, or damage your ballot, you may request for a replacement ballot with your County Elections Division.
Yes, your ballot will still be counted.
