Qualified residents may still register and vote in the General Election. To qualify, you must be a U.S. Citizen, Hawai‘i resident and at least 18 years old. Voters registering at their Election Day polling place are reminded that they may experience increased wait times as they will be required to complete a Registration Affidavit Form and await confirmation that they are at the correct polling place.
