He said the volunteers are from different political parties who make sure the system is counting properly. Honolulu voters to decide on Charter Amendment: Proposal to create Ocean Safety Commission Most voters should have received a ballot in the mail. Once you have it, you could mark your choice in a blue or black pen, place the ballot back into the secrecy sleeve, sign where required and either drop it in an official drop box or put it in the postage-paid envelope and drop it in the mail – as long as it is received before Nov. 5. Nago said there are layers of security features with ballots. "When you sign the ballot, the signature is compared to the one we have on file," he explained. "And you can track your ballot on the state elections website, it will either send you a voice message, text message, or email to tell you that your ballot has been received and counted." If you prefer voting in person or registering to vote, all voter service centers statewide will open on Tuesday, Oct. 22, and you can vote any time before November 5. "Because it's a presidential election, we can't release results until after the last voter has voted at a voter service center," Nago explained. "The last general election in 2020, I believe was close to 10:30 or 11 p.m. So don't wait, voter service centers open Tuesday and run all the way to election day, but if you wait until last minute expect lines." All voters must be in line outside a voter center before 7 p.m. on Nov. 5. People will not be able to line up after 7 p.m. While the primary election in August had the worst voter turnout in primary history (32%), presidential elections tend to bring out more Hawaii voters. According to the state's Office of Elections website, in 2020 there was a nearly 70% voter turnout which was the highest in years. In 2016, there was a 58% turnout, followed by 62% in 2012, and 66% in 2008.
