Get it in a box by 7:00 PM
Saturday, Aug 8
It has to be physically in the county’s hands by then. A postmark does not count. If it shows up late, it does not get counted.
Mailing it on August 8 is too late. Don’t put your ballot in the mail on Election Day — drop it in a ballot box in your county instead.
Four steps
- 1
Mark your ballot
Blue or black ink. No white-out. If you make a mistake, request a replacement instead of fixing it.
- 2
Use the green secrecy sleeve
It came in your packet. Your ballot is separated from your envelope before anyone counts it.
- 3
Sign the back of the envelope Don’t skip
The most common reason a ballot gets rejected. An unsigned envelope cannot be accepted.
- 4
Return it
Postage is already paid. Ballot box, Voter Service Center, or mail — check timing below first.

Not registered? You can still vote.

Best option — do it in one trip
Go to any Voter Service Center. You can register and vote in the same visit. Bring ID. They’re open through 7:00 PM on Saturday, August 8, including Election Day itself. Locations and hours are listed below.
Or start online
Register or check whether you’re already registered at olvr.hawaii.gov. Not sure if your registration is current? This is the fastest way to find out.
