Hawai‘i Office of Elections reports that voter service centers throughout the state are now open through Aug. 8 for those who want to cast their ballot in-person during the upcoming state primaries and to provide additional election services such as voter registration and accessible voting.
Officials urge voters to vote early so they can beat the long lines expected during the Aug. 8 elections.
“We encourage Hawaii voters to adopt the mindset that voting is no longer a single-day event,” said Hawai‘i Chief Election Officer Scott Nago in a state release. “Instead, voters now have an extended window of time if they want to vote in person.”
