Voting is an essential part or our democratic process. By voting, you choose the representatives who will make decisions that affect you, your family and your community. If you care about the future of Hawai‘i… register and vote.
What types of elections does Hawai‘i hold?
In every even-numbered year, Hawaii holds a Primary Election in September and a General Election in November.
Who may register to vote?
You may register to vote if you are:
- A citizen of the United States of America;
- A legal resident of Hawai‘i; and
- At least 16 years of age (Pre-registration is allowed at age 16. You must be 18 years old by Election Day to vote).
You are not eligible to register or to vote if you are a convicted and confined felon or you are declared mentally incompetent.
Should I re-register to vote?
You should re-register if you changed your name, residence address or mailing address.
How long are the polls open?
Polling places are open from 7:00AM to 6:00PM If You are not sure of your polling place; call your City or County Clerk.
Will I be notified of my polling place?
Yes. Your City/County Clerk will send you a Notice of Voter Registration and Address Confirmation (NVRAC) card with your polling place listed on it.
You are not properly registered if:
- You do not receive the NVRAC card;
- You no longer live at the address listed on the NVRAC card; or

Do I need an I.D. to vote on Election Day?
Yes. Be sure to have an I.D. with a picture and signature (such as a Hawaii driver's license or state I.D. card) when you go to vote. The NVRAC card is not an acceptable form of identification.
Do I have to take time off from work to vote?
You may be entitled to not more than two consecutive hours off from work on Election Day in order to vote. Ask your employer first and keep your ballot stub as proof of voting (ref. HRS §11-95).
