To be eligible to register to vote, you must be a U.S. Citizen, a Hawai‘i resident and at least 18 years of age. Hawai‘i law allows for voter pre-registration at 16 years of age; however, the individual must be 18 years of age to vote.

Voter Registration Forms are also available at the following locations:

  • U.S. Post Offices
  • Public Libraries
  • Office of Elections website
  • City/County Clerk’s Offices
  • Most State Agencies

Voters can also register online, by mail, or at the Clerk’s Office by Oct. 9. Applications must be submitted by 4:30 p.m. to register to vote in the General Election. Mailed applications will be accepted if postmarked by Oct. 9. Additionally, voters registered by Oct. 9 are eligible to request a mail ballot.

Individuals who miss the Oct. 9 deadline can still register and vote at an Early Walk in Voting site within their county from Oct. 23 through Nov. 3 and on Election Day at their assigned polling place. However, they may experience increased wait times at the polls as they will be required to complete a Registration Affidavit and confirm they are at the correct polling place. These extra steps ensure the integrity of the voter registration rolls and the election.
