Sign up for Hawaiʻi’s free ballot tracking service at elections.hawaii.gov. You’ll receive your choice of email, text or phone call alerts when your ballot is mailed to you and when your voted ballot has been accepted for counting.

Familiarize yourself with the candidates by viewing the digital voter guide at elections.hawaii.gov. There, you’ll find a candidate statement, contact information and a photo of the candidate.

Sign and return your ballot by 7 p.m. on Aug. 8. Return your ballot by mail or drop it off at a ballot drop box. Visit elections.hawaii.gov for location details. Don’t forget to sign the return envelope for your ballot to be counted.

If you make a mistake on your ballot, request a replacement. Do not attempt to correct the error with whiteout or other markings. Instructions for notifying your County Elections Division are printed on the ballot, or visit elections.hawaii.gov. Depending on your county, you may request a replacement through an online portal or by phone.

Plan to vote early at a Voter Service Center. We urge voters who plan on voting in person to do so before Election Day. Voter Service Centers are open beginning 10 business days before Election Day, including Saturdays for most locations, and there are seldom long lines.
