How to Vote in the primary

Let’s Turn Out The Vote!

In just over a week all the votes will be counted and the Primary Election will be over!

Get your ballot in the mail by Monday August 8th! Make sure your signature matches the one you sent in to the elections office previously, they will cross check it to accept your ballot. If there are any problems with the signature they confirmed they will reach out to the voter. Make sure to complete your ballot in black ink only and carefully follow the instructions.

There are also drop boxes where you can drop your ballots! Those locations are mapped here.

You can vote in person now through election day at the Elections Office in Lihue, next door to Council Chambers, at 4386 Rice St, Monday through Saturday 8am to 4:30pm (and till 7pm on Election Day).

LIHUE IS THE ONLY IN VOTING LOCATION ON KAUAʻI ON ELECTION DAY.

Please make sure everyone eligible (18+ year old Hawaiian residents) in your household has registered to vote and has received their ballot.

If you have not received your mail ballot packet you can contact the Elections Office at 808-241-4800. Anyone can also register to vote and view/update their mailing address for the General Election at olvr.hawaii.gov.

My goal for the primary is to place strongly in the top 7 and continue to grow and build the campaign as we approach the General Election in November.
