Ahead of the 2026 primary election on Saturday, Aug. 8, we have a few key reminders for Hawai‘i voters.
❑ Your primary election ballot will arrive by mail. Hawai‘i registered voters automatically receive a mail ballot for every election.
❑ Confirm your voter registration. Visit elections.hawaii.gov or call 808-453-8683 to confirm that your voter registration is current. If you have moved or changed your mailing address since the 2024 elections, be sure to update online or by submitting a Voter Registration Application (elections.hawaii.gov/wp-content/uploads/VR-Form-English-Fillable.pdf).
❑ Track your ballot. Sign up for Hawai‘i’s free ballot tracking system at elections.hawaii.gov. You’ll receive alerts when your ballot is mailed to you and when your voted ballot has been accepted for counting. You can expect to receive your ballot packet by July 21.
❑ Learn about the candidates. View the digital voter guide at elections.hawaii.gov to read statements from the candidates.
❑ Return your ballot by 7pm on Aug. 8. Return your ballot by mail or drop it off at a ballot drop box. Visit elections.hawaii.gov for location details. Don’t forget to sign the return envelope for your ballot to be counted.
