Elections Commission Panel Calls For A Shakeup In How Hawaiʻi Votes
Hawaiʻi should return to in-person balloting and fire its chief elections officer, a three-member subcommittee of the state Elections Commission is recommending.
But it’s far from certain whether those actions will ever be approved by the full commission, which conducted an acrimonious meeting Wednesday.
The recommendations come after another three-member subcommittee found discrepancies in the 2024 Kauaʻi County general election results, in which the state counted more ballots than the county said it delivered.
On Wednesday, the full commission voted 5-2 to conduct an independent audit of the Kauaʻi County results.
