How to Vote

Voting is one of the most powerful ways to make your voice heard and shape the future of our community and state. Whether you’re voting in a local election or a statewide referendum, the process is straightforward. Here’s a quick guide on how to register, vote, and ensure your vote counts in upcoming elections.

  • Register to Vote: Ensure you’re registered by visiting the Hawaiʻi Office of Elections website or by completing a registration form online or in person.

  • Check Voter Eligibility: Make sure you meet the requirements—be a U.S. citizen, Hawaiʻi resident, and at least 18 years old on Election Day.

  • Verify Your Registration: Double-check your registration status by visiting the Hawaiʻi Voter Services website.

  • Review the Ballot: Familiarize yourself with candidates and issues by reviewing the sample ballot and voter pamphlets sent before the election.

  • Vote by Mail or In-Person: Choose between absentee voting by mail or voting in person at an early voting location or on Election Day.

  • Bring Identification: If voting in person, bring a valid photo ID (e.g., driver’s license or state ID).

  • Submit Your Ballot: If voting by mail, follow instructions carefully to ensure your ballot is received by the deadline. If voting in person, complete your ballot at the polling location.

  • Track Your Vote: Use the Hawaiʻi Office of Elections website to track your mailed ballot and confirm it’s been processed.
