Hi friends -
Want to better understand how Hawaiʻi's elections work before ballots go out this summer?
The Hawaiʻi State Legislature will be hosting a public informational briefing with Chief Election Officer Scott Nago on Wednesday, July 8, at 10:30 a.m. to walk through the 2026 election process and answer many of the questions voters have every election cycle including:
Important dates for the 2026 Primary and General Elections
Who is eligible to vote and how to register
How vote-by-mail works and other ways to vote
How to track your ballot from mailing to counting
How ballots are processed and tabulated
Recent changes to Hawaiʻi election laws
Resources available through the Office of Elections, including the Voter Guide
The presentation will be followed by questions from Committee Members only. During informational briefings, no public testimony is accepted.
Whether you're voting for the first time or have voted for years, this is a great opportunity to hear directly from the Office of Elections and better understand how Hawaiʻi administers its elections.
