Deadlines

Make sure you’re registered to vote by 4:30pm on October 26th. You can still register online or in-person if you miss this deadline, but you’ll need to vote in person.

If you need your ballot mailed to an address other than your home, submit an Absentee Application by 4:30pm on October 27th.

When you return your ballot it needs to be received in the election’s office by 7pm on Election Day, November 3rd.

FYI: Changes at the Post Office

This is important: USPS recently changed its policies and won’t always postmark mail the same day it’s picked up from a mailbox — or even the day after. To guarantee a same-day postmark, you’ll need to go to a post office and ask for a manual postmark. All the more reason to mail things early!

Instructions

Put your ballot in the secrecy sleeve provided and seal it.

Put that little bundle in the return envelope provided.

Sign the return envelope where indicated - your signature should match what was on your registration.

No need to put a stamp on it — Hawaii covers the postage for you! Now that’s the spirit of Aloha.

It’s best to drop your ballot in a secure dropbox or place of deposit provided by the state. If you need to put it in the mail, make sure to do so by October 27th so it has time to get there. If it’s after the 27th and you still have your ballot, please find a dropbox before Election Day!

You can have someone drop your ballot for you if you want.
