Voter reminders
Voting and returning your mail ballot

- Return your ballot as soon as possible. Ballots must be received, not postmarked, by 7 p.m. Aug. 8. Ballots received after the deadline cannot be counted.
- Track your ballot. Sign up for free ballot notifications or call 808-453-VOTE (8683) for assistance with enrolling. You’ll be alerted when your ballot is mailed and when your voted ballot is accepted for counting.
Troubleshooting ballot or registration issues
- Requesting a replacement ballot: If you make a mistake on your ballot, do not attempt to correct it. Instructions are provided on your ballot for how to request a replacement.

Update online or complete a paper voter registration application available at all state libraries and post offices.
