Thursday Is The Deadline To Register For Primary Election
Mail ballots will start going out July 21.
Thursday is the deadline for people to register to vote and receive a mail ballot for this year’s primary election.
For the first time, Hawaii will be conducting an election entirely by mail. That means no traditional polling places will be open on Election Day, Aug. 8. Instead, voters who are registered by the deadline Thursday will get their ballots in the mail starting July 21.
Applications to register as a voter are available online at the Office of Elections .
Ballots can be turned in anytime between July 21 and 7 p.m. Aug. 8. Elections officials are asking voters to mail their ballots by Aug. 3.
The state elections office also put together a where ballots can be dropped off until 7 p.m. on Election Day.
Ballots can also be dropped off at several around the state. Those centers all open July 27, and anyone who isn’t registered by then can still register in-person until Election Day.
Voters can also cast ballots in-person at those centers if they choose not to mail a ballot.
