Hawaii Voter Turnout Already At 41%

With a little more than a week left until Election Day, 41% of registered voters have already cast their ballots, according to Hawaii Chief Elections Officer Scott Nago.

As of Friday morning, 344,000 ballots were received, Nago said during a segment of the Honolulu Star-Advertiser’s Spotlight Hawaii. Voter registration this year is up to over 830,000.

This is the first year elections in Hawaii are being conducted almost entirely by mail ballot.

During the August primary election, 16% more voters cast ballots than in 2016, when the U.S. last voted for a president and Oahu had a mayoral race. Turnout during presidential election years, like 2020, tend to be higher than others.
