How do I Vote by Mail in Hawaii?
Hawaii is one of eight states with universal mail-in voting, which means every registered voter should’ve received a mail ballot by July 23. Here’s how to cast your vote by mail:
Check Your Ballot: Look at both sides for all races and measures.
Mark Your Choices: Use a black or blue pen to fill in the boxes for your selections.
Seal Your Ballot: Place your completed ballot in the secrecy sleeve, then put the secrecy sleeve in the return envelope.
Sign the Envelope: Read the affirmation statement and sign the return envelope. Your ballot won’t be counted without your signature.

How do I return my ballot?
By Mail: Use the postage-paid return envelope. Mail it in early to ensure it arrives on time.
By Drop Box: Drop your ballot at a designated drop box. Find locations and hours at elections.hawaii.gov .
What if I haven’t registered to vote yet?
Submit your application to your County Elections Division by 4:30 p.m. local on July 31.
Register online or at a voter service center. You only need to re-register if you change your address, name, or mailing address.
Can I vote in person?
If you’re a resident who wants to vote in person, you can visit a voter service center in your county. These centers will open on July 31 and offer in-person voting and same-day registration. Check your county’s website for locations and hours.
Can I track my Hawaii ballot?
Voters can virtually check the status of their mail-in ballot by signing up for BallotTrax.
