As voters head to the polls, Common Cause Hawaii is reminding the public that it may several days for election officials to finalize results.

Hawaii’s primary election took place Saturday, August 13th, and was plagued by hours-long lines prompted by only one Voter Service Center on Maui island. On Maui island, only one voting location was open, where voters began lining up prior to its opening at 7:00 AM.

Today, Common Cause Hawaii is calling on county election administrators to add new Voter Service Centers and Drop Boxes across the state for a truly fair, inclusive election, citing a newly released “Voting Location Siting Tool.”

Today, Common Cause Hawaii announced the passage of three bills they advocated for during this legislative session to strengthen and protect democracy.
