The last word

Hawaii Office of Elections has it, not me. If anything here differs from Hawaii Office of Elections, the state is right. I checked these pages on October 12, 2026, and rules can change after that.

I tell you how to vote. I never tell you who to vote for. See who is on the ballot in Hawaii, or ask the others in Hawaii how voting went for them.
