Register to Vote

Did you know that Hawaii has one of the lowest voter turnout rates in the nation? No matter who you support, it is important to vote. Voting is critical for holding our government and politicians accountable. Given Hawaii’s history of struggle for equality and justice, we really should have among the highest turnouts in the country. You can make a difference by voting and encouraging others to vote as well.
