Here’s what you need to know as Election Day in Hawaii approaches

HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) – Election Day is nearing and your ballot should be arriving in your mailbox anytime now.

Elections officials have begun mailing out ballots to voters this week.

Once you receive your ballot and fill out the choices, you can put it in the included postage-paid envelope or at a designated official ballot drop box location.

Don’t forget to sign the envelope or it won’t be accepted.

Ballot drop boxes at 16 locations across Oahu are now open until 7 p.m. on Nov. 5.

“Vote early,” said Glen Takahashi, Honolulu City Clerk. “Don’t wait to the last minute. If you do, please expect to be with us on Election Day for awhile because we do expect lines. If you do not receive a vote by mail packet by middle of next week, please engage with our office because there could be a delivery issue.”
