Hawaii voters should see Primary ballot packets in the mail beginning July 26

Officials say Hawaii voters have until Aug. 6 to submit an application for absentee voting. According to elections officials, an absentee voter is a person who will be away from their Hawaii residence for the election and has requested for the ballot to be mailed to an alternate address while they are away.

The deadline to submit a paper voter registration application for the Primary Election is Aug. 3. Paper applications must be postmarked to your County Elections Division by this date, according to elections officials.

Voted ballots must be received by 7 p.m. on Election Day, officials said.

There is still time to register to vote online. In order to access the online system, users will need to have their Hawaii state driver’s license or ID card and you’ll need to know your Social Security number.

Hawaii’s Primary Election happens on Saturday, Aug. 13. Polls close at 7 p.m.
